Man Shot To Death While Playing Pokemon GO

San Francisco’s famous Fisherman’s Wharf was the site of a senseless murder of a young college athlete who was playing Pokemon GO this past Saturday night.

Calvin Riley, 20, and a group of friends were busy enjoying the augmented reality game that accesses a phone’s GPS and camera to allow players to search their surroundings for Pokemon creatures, when a gunman approached Riley, shot him in the back, and ran off. Paramedics arrived shortly after and administered CPR, but, tragically, Riley was pronounced dead at the scene.
