Just days after the Japanese media linked a double murder to GTA 3, Rockstar has been hit with another tragedy linked to one of their titles, this time Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Roland Kirk Brown was sentenced to life in prison without parole for shooting and killing a seven year old girl, Deva White, who was sitting with her grandmother and 8 year old brother when Brown opened fire on their home.
What prompted the violence was an argument over Deva White's brother's copy of San Andreas, which he claimed Brown's son had stolen:
Police say Brown fired gunshots into Deva White's house on Nov. 29 while the girl say on a couch with her grandmother and 8-year-old brother. Deva was struck in the chest.
Deva's older brother had accused Brown's 16-year-old son of stealing his copy of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," the Detroit Free Press reported Thursday. The video game had not been stolen and lay underneath the family's couch, the newspaper said.
