The two met online, where Uwakah agreed to sell his PS4. After meeting near Jerrold Ave. and Bayshore Blvd. around 3:30 p.m., Collins reportedly shot Uwakah multiple times and fled with the gaming system. Police were able to apprehend Collins by observing surveillance footage taken in the area and asking residents in the neighborhood to contact them if they had any information.
Reports were unsure which online outlet Uwakah used to advertise the PS4, but police said that it was not popular bartering site Craigslist.
Sony's Playstation 4 is currently sold out at places like Wal-mart and Gamestop. The highly-anticipated next-gen console sold 1 million units during the first 24 hours of its launch and has currently sold around 2 million consoles. The system is still in high demand for the upcoming holiday season.
