(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A man was shot dead Sunday in San Francisco after an attempt to sell his PlayStation 4 in the city's Bayview District, police have said. The San Jose Mercury News reports that the 22-year-old man was shot multiple times yesterday afternoon before being taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where he later died.

Law enforcement officials said the victim met the suspect, described as an adult male, online after posting an advertisement for the PS4 on Instagram. When they met up to complete the sale, the suspect shot the victim while he was still in his car with his girlfriend despite giving up the console willingly, according to local news outlet KTVU.

"I don't know that it's unique to PlayStation or anything else," Lt. Tim Plyer said. "People do robberies, and I don't know why this one transpired, but we'll do all that we can to investigate it."

As of last night, police continued to speak with witnesses and follow leads as they sought the killer. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the police department's anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or to send a tip via text message to TIP411 with "SFPD" in the message.

...and this is why people shouldn't be able to buy guns.

This is why I try to do business as close to a police station as possible. Although cops don't like it.

I know the Ps4 is amazing and all but not worth dying over, it's sad that something like
this happened my thoughts go out to his family poor people.

I know...it's so ridiculous how things like this even happen. I mean seriously over a video game console. Is it really worth taking someone's life over this?!

saw this on my local news station today, pretty sad.

Well hopefully the person that did it will hit a wall of karma, or he will burn in agony in hell for eternity.

ehh, he wont get far.. after they see his emails trace the IP hes done.

What, because someONE shot somebody with a gun? People get killed many other ways too. The only way to stop killing is to wipe the human race off this planet. Taking away a gun won't do a damn thing.

I read about this book, it is called "Fist, Sticks, Knife, Guns." Back then, this kid use to fight a lot and there wasn't any guns what so ever. People often never died from this cause. Now when guns started to pop up, many kids started to die from gun violence. Drugs and guns both got popular in the world by the mid 80s. Now, we see nukes and bombs being made. Maybe in like 30 or 60 years, people can buy tanks and use them. Doesn't that seem suspicious that a person would use a gun to get a PS4? If this was the 70s or 60s, most likely the guy never died. He could of been injured, but killing and being injured are both different topics.
