Another Man Dies In Apparent PS4 Homicide

Another Man Dies In Apparent PS4 Homicide

More arbitrary foolishness.

San Francisco police arrested a man they suspect of killing someone trying to sell a PlayStation 4 through an online ad. It’s confirmed to be the second PS4-related homicide since the console launched on November 15th in the U.S.

Ronnie Collins, 21, of San Francisco, has been jailed on suspicion of murder and attempted robbery, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. The victim, Ikenna Uwakah, 22, of Daly City, Calif., was shot several times Sunday afternoon at the location where he had agreed to meet to sell the console.

However, it’s not entirely clear that Collins, 21, either had contacted Uwakah to buy the console or knew he was there to sell it. S.F. police said Uwakah had been driven to the scene by his girlfriend; he was shot in the passenger seat of her vehicle. Originally police said the gunman made off with the PlayStation “but that detail remained unclear late Monday,” said the Chron.

Uwakah’s parents emigrated to the United States from Nigeria; he had been a student at two California colleges.
