A few days ago, San Francisco police arrested a 21-year-old man who they say killed another man over a PlayStation 4.

The suspect, Ronnie Collins, made arrangements online to buy the new console from the victim, 22-year-old Ikenna Uwakah. Uwakah was shot at 3:30 p.m. and died in the hospital Sunday, NBC News reports. Collins was arrested on Monday.

Uwakah agreed to meet Collins to sell him the PS4, but Collins allegedly stole it and shot Uwakah as he sat in the passenger seat of his car. Uwakah's girlfriend, who was in the driver's seat, wasn't injured, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Uwakah's father, Onyebuchi, said his son had sold many personal effects online before, without problems.

"He does that all the time," he told NBC News. "He buys telephones and things likes electronics and cells. This is what he does. He doesn’t have to tell me every time he does it. He does it to keep busy when he’s not busy with school."

Police didn't say what website the two used to arrange the deal, but confirmed that it wasn't Craigslist.

Watch NBC News’ report on the incident.

R.I.P Ikenna. What a painful experience for his family cry
A lesson: Dont do face to face business in america. Sell your stuff on amazon. Less profit but much safe.

It's getting so annoying. A few days ago, another man got killed when he responded to a Craigslist ad for PS3 I think.

Not cool at all

So sad

The loss of a loved one is so painful. I still don't get how someone can easily take someone's life and cause his family so Much pain.

I hope his family status strong.

To think that all this is about some PS4? It's quite pathetic.
