Man killed after meeting woman on online dating site

The next night, she returned to his house with three friends who carried out the robbery, which authorities said ended with Hilarie taking a gunshot to the head and dying on his kitchen floor.

Investigators believe she was planning to rob Hilarie all along.

Bustos was later arrested in a separate burglary, after after police received a report from a witness who saw Bustos and Hilarie together before his death. A few hours after the date, they said she showed up with Andre Warner, Joshua Ellington and Gary Gray. Police are using Hilarie’s death as an opportunity to warn against taking someone you met online home after the first date.

Just a few suggestions from Ray who said you never know who you may be connecting with on the other side.

When you decide to meet, do so in a public place. “The person may represent themselves as one thing and be something totally different”.

Most important, trust your intuition, officials said. “But, also, as a first date, it’s not a good idea to take somebody to your home”. “If she hasn’t done it before, then she has talked to people who have done it”, Deputy Chief Ray said.

Cruz hopes other people remember the dangers of the internet, so they don’t have to experience the same loss he has. All four were charged with first-degree murder, as well as conspiracy to commit murder and robbery with a firearm. Jail records didn’t list attorneys for them.

A GoFundMe page for Hilarie’s family, including his 5-year-old daughter Lajaya, has been set up to help with expenses.
