Barker’s listing on Letgo stated he would trade his unlocked iPhone 6S in exchange for an Xbox, PS4 or $150 cash.
After agreeing to come to her residence to make the trade, the woman told police Barker parked behind her house in a silver vehicle, possibly with a temporary tag.
She stated Barker got out of the car, told her son he was resetting the iPhone, then got back into the vehicle with the PS4 and the iPhone and drove off.
She described Barker as a black male, about 18-years-old and approximately 5’7” with short hair.
According to the police report, Barker may also have a tattoo of a rose on one of his forearms.
Another black male with dread locks was sitting in the passenger seat but never exited the vehicle, the woman said.
