After selling his own PS4 to pay rent, Nathaniel Vivian and his girlfriend, Kayla Dixon, then 16, plotted to rob a new console in a Craigslist scheme in 2014, police said.
Dixon, now 18, admitted to firing a bullet through her boyfriend’s hand and Danny Zeitz’s chest during the robbery, killing the seller.
“I would trade anything, almost anything to bring Daniel back. But I know I can’t,” the teary-eyed teen said in a statement in the courtroom on Monday. “I know he had plans. I wish I could tell him, ‘I’m so, so sorry this happened,’ but I can’t.”
Cops busted the killer and her boyfriend after they rushed to Northside Hospital and claimed they were the victims of a robbery.
Prior to the botched PS4 mugging, Vivian and Dixon were looking up “how to rob someone” on YouTube and texting back and forth, making sure to delete their messages, investigators said.
The couple found Zeitz’s ad to sell his PS4 on Craigslist, and arranged to meet up with him for the robbery.
Danny Zeitz was shot dead by Kayla Dixon trying to stop the robbers from stealing his Playstation 4, which he put up for sale in a Craigslist ad in 2014.

Daniel’s entire future was brutally ripped from him in a senseless act of violence.
When Zeitz clutched onto his console, Dixon opened fire, shooting her beau through the hand and fatally hitting Zeitz in the chest.
Dixon’s 16-month-old baby was sitting in the backseat of the car during the shooting.
After pleading guilty, Dixon apologized to Zeitz’s family, telling them she hopes “one day my apology will matter.”
