A Nigerian man was murdered after arriving at a designated meeting spot to sell his PlayStation 4 that he had advertised online.
Ikenna Uwakah, 22, died in hospital after being shot several times while sitting in the passenger seat of his girlfriend’s car at a busy junction in broad daylight.
It is understood he advertised the new Sony console on Instagram for ‘some $600′ (£365).
A 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the incident, which took place in Daly City, south of San Francisco, California, in the US, on Sunday.
While police have not confirmed that the suspect stole the PS4, he has also been charged with attempted robbery.
The family of Mr Uwakah, a student at Santa Monica College, have expressed disbelief at his death.
His brother Obinna described him as ‘a kid that brightened up every room he arrived in’, while his sister told the San Francisco Chronicle: ‘He had a lot of friends, and a lot of people liked him.
‘He was a normal kid, just trying to find his way in this world.’
