MI: Knife Beats Gun in Mortal Combat

Detective Sgt. Robert Moody said the seller and Trent met at Magnolia and Anthony Streets around 8 p.m. Monday. At one point Trent pulled out a handgun and struck the seller over the head. The seller then pulled out a knife and stabbed Trent. The Dearborn Heights man then remained at the scene and called 911. Moody said it appears Trent never intended to purchase the video game console and the seller claimed he stabbed Trent in self-defense.

“It sounds like it turned into a robbery,” Moody said. “There was some bickering over the money.”

The gaming system was advertised through Letgo, an online sales website. The men involved in the confrontation never knew each other, Moody said.

The seller arrived at the scene with his 19-year-old girlfriend, who remained in the car during the entire incident.
