Houston man almost killed by two women for Jay Z tickets

A Houston man who was trying to sell tickets to the Jay Z concert on Dec. 19 at the Toyota Center was robbed and run over by a pair of women during a Craigslist transaction that quickly went wrong.

According to Harris County court documents, the man had eight tickets to the rapper's show and he met with the two potential buyers in the parking lot of a Starbucks on Dec. 15.

Prior to the meeting, Cessica Darden told the victim that she would have a child with her and wouldn’t be able to leave her car. As the man approached, Darden and the other woman, Denitra Sherrelle Green, allegedly snatched the tickets and tried to speed off even though Darden's child was in the backseat.

Unfortunately for the man, he was still holding on to the vehicle. After Darden kicked him, the man tumbled off the car and broke his leg, left arm and right hand. He also injured his right knee and suffered severe road rash.

When Houston police went to the concert, they discovered Green and Darden sitting in the seats that were on the stolen tickets. Both women were later arrested and reportedly admitted to driving away with the man clinging to the vehicle.

The women have both been charged with aggravated robbery.

The victim will need plastic surgery and will likely have trouble walking as a result of his injuries.
