A TEENAGE girl and her boyfriend allegedly killed a man over his PlayStation 4, as her baby lay nearby.

Daniel Zeitz, 28, was killed after agreeing to meet Nathaniel Vivian, 20, and his 16-year-old girlfriend in a car park on Friday evening, after arranging to sell them his PlayStation via Craigslist, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

There, the couple tried to rob Zeitz, with Vivian grabbing the PlayStation and trying to wrestle it from his arms, according to Sandy Springs police Sgt Ron Momon .

The girl and her baby waited in the car while the attempted robbery took place.

As Zeitz and Vivian struggled, the teen girl pulled out a gun and fired a shot. The bullet ripped through Vivian’s hand and tore into Zeitz’s chest, killing him.

Vivian and the girl, who has not been named because of her age, then sought treatment at a nearby hospital, where they claimed to be robbery victims.

“Brookhaven police were at the hospital interviewing the injured man, who told them he was a victim of a crime in Brookhaven, but later told them he was shot while he and his girlfriend were at the Legends of Dunwoody Apartments to rob a man of his PS4 video gaming system that was advertised on Craigslist,” Momon said.

“Detectives also learned that the juvenile’s infant child, approximately 16 months, was in the back seat of the car during the robbery and shooting,” he said.

Zeitz was an avid gamer who competed in gaming tournaments and was a professional Gears of War players. One of his teammates issued an emotional video about the robbery, asking people to donate to a GoFundMe account for his family. The account has raised more than $20,000 so far.
