San Francisco police arrested a suspect Monday in the case of a 22-year-old man who was fatally shot Sunday after making arrangements online to sell a PlayStation 4.

Police have identified the suspect as 21-year-old Ronnie Collins, from San Francisco. He'll be charged for murder and attempted robbery in connection with the killing of Ikenna Uwakah of Daly City.

Uwakah's father, Onyebuchi Uwakah, told NBC Bay Area his son was enrolled in school in Southern California, studying economics at Santa Monica College, and had been visiting home for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Uwakah was shot at about 3:30 p.m. Sunday near Mendell Street and Hudson Avenue in an industrial area of the city's Bayview District.

Uwakah had agreed to meet with the suspect to sell him the gaming console, but instead the suspect stole it and shot Uwakah while he was still in his car, according to police.

He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and pronounced dead a short time later, police spokesman Officer Albie Esparza said.

Onyebuchi Uwakah said this was not the first time his son had attempted to sell merchandise to a buyer he had met on the Internet.

“He does that all the time,” Onyebuchi Uwakah said. “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 in school."

The killing happened in a mostly industrial area right off of Highway 101. There are no homes there, but there is a Chevron gas station less than 100 yards from where the shooting took place.
