3 teens charged in San Diego Craigslist killing (AP)

SAN DIEGO – Three 17-year-old boys have been charged with murder in the death of an 18-year-old San Diego college student who was allegedly robbed of cash and his cell phone after meeting the assailants to buy a $600 computer that was advertised on Craigslist.

Rashon Abernathy, Seandell Jones and Shaquille Jordan were charged Friday as adults with murder and robbery. Each faces a maximum penalty of life in prison if convicted of either charge.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Joseph Brannigan entered not-guilty pleas on their behalf and set bail at $5 million for each of them.

Prosecutors say 18-year-old Garrett Burki died from a bullet wound to the chest. Abernathy allegedly fired the shot from the back seat of a car as Burki cornered him in a cul-de-sac after a chase.
