Man shot and killed while playing Pokemón Go in San Francisco
 
 
Police in San Francisco are asking witnesses to the murder of a 20-year-old man playing Pokemón Go Saturday night near San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf to come forward with any information they might have.
Calvin Riley was playing the app-based game in Aquatic Park at around 10 p.m. when he was shot, says Sgt. Robert Jansing with U.S. Park Police. None of Riley's property was taken, and "there doesn't appear to be any outstanding motive right now," Jansing said. It's unclear if the shooting had anything to do with the game, which has been used to lure players into areas where they are then robbed or carjacked.
Calvin was studying kinesiology at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, California, where he played on the baseball team, the Los Angeles Times reports.
