The brutal murders of a 7-year-old girl and her uncle were apparently spurred by a tattoo-loving gunman and a plot to pay off his next bit of ink with game consoles, according to Indianapolis prosecutors.

Jeremy Crane, 21, and his niece Kyleigh Crane were shot as they lay on the ground during a robbery turned violent, according to the formal filing of murder charges, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Prosecutors say that Michael Bell Jr, 22, offered to give tattoo artist Jeremy Priel, 25, a Playstation 3 in exchange for tattoo work. Bell told police that he and Priel went to the home of Crane, a former co-worker, and asked to use the bathroom. As planned, Priel pulled a gun on Crane and his niece ordering them and Bell to the ground, according to his statement.

Bell told police that Priel then shot Crane twice, first wounding him and then killing him with a shot to the head. Bell said he then stepped over the bodies to grab a PlayStation 3 and an Xbox. He said he ran out of the house with the consoles before the girl was shot.

Priel says it was Bell who killed the two, later giving him the consoles, which he then sold for cash and drugs. Both men were arrested on Sunday after the person who bought the consoles become suspicious of the deal when they spotted blood on the PS3. The prosecutor says he is considering the death penalty in the case.

be careful with who you deal with folks.
 
Definitely not. I wouldn't think that two innocent lives would be worth the cost of a PlayStation and it's controllers. Crimes nowadays have become so desperate and bizarre that I wonder what might happen in the future? Killing someone just because he said hi to you and you didn't know him? I definitely support the punishment that is planned to be given out to those two beasts.
 
No, its truly a sad situation. I've heard about people being killed over $5 and even petty change. People have been consumed by greed and wanting to take things that don't belong to them instead of working hard. The problem won't stop though, sadly their will be people that will continue to scum the earth.
 
There's no way I would kill for a PS3. People make everything seem like it's life or death. Killing someone so you can get a tattoo, are you serious? This world is going to hell, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I hope he gets the death penalty because he's wrong for what he did.
 
I think that an used console is something about 200$. Two people deserve to day for 400$ ? People are getting violent everyday and the drugs addict to stupid things that will mark them for the rest of their lives.
 
I know I definitely wouldn't, I already have one and even if I didn't I still would not kill for one. I would just save up and buy it myself. Killing is horrible, not to mention illegal, and it's even worse when it's over something like a PS3.
 
I wouldn't kill for any inanimate object. That's plain crazy! Some people obviously need to get their head checked. Plus the PS3 has been out for years now so it's a strange time to decide to get violent over one.

Not even 400 - at max it would have come to maybe 325 depending on who happens to be buying. So basically two people died for less then what could be made in a couple of days by say a nurse or construction worker. Hell even someone with a manufacturing job could make this in a week. Tch. Pathetic.
 
It may have a decent game library and functions as a decent entertainment system, but it's not worth killing over.

This news is quite old, though. But apparently it still functions as a discussion platform
