(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.

I don't think anyone would murder over a video game console, rather they would kill while someone is selling it to them for different purposes, it's a very unexpected and unfortunate way to die nonetheless.

Read the news on my phone (Live Feed) and the guy that they think shot the guy to death is arrested.

Yeah... I always sell stuff on Craigslist, but I am too scared to this Christmas... Feel like I'll just get robbed

What about the gangsters in Chicago, and New York and stuff..?
I feel like meeting people through a unknown "source" online just feels like the old drug deals prolly did it those days... supply the goods, and they supply the money. Unfortunately some people want to gain what they want, and keep what they have. It's no surprise to me that someone would be killed over this... Consumerism is strong in this country, and if you can't afford the best things to make yourself feel good, then you have nothing.
I know life isn't meant to be that shallow... but at time's that's the lie that people choose to believe.

At least without guns it would give the victim a fighting chance... If that guy came at the other guy with a knife he could have survived, you can't dodge a bullet

People are actually that needy for a PS4, times are bad.

True. But on the other hand if the guy (victim) had a gun, he may have been able to shoot first and kill his attacker. There is also the possibility of a number of attackers.

I'm pro gun so maybe it is just my mentality... but I do be believe in more strict forms of gun-control.

Again, it is sad that this happened to that young man.

Hope that guy spends the rest of his life in the darkest hell hole on earth

Put the c**t on death row and beat him everyday he spends in jail
