Authorities say Emmanuel Johnson, 25, had agreed to meet an unidentified 23-year-old man outside Orlando police HQ at 4:30 p.m. to buy the console from him. The meeting location was changed at the last minute, and that’s where the shooting occurred.

Johnson ended up shot dead. The unnamed 23-year-old was also hospitalized with gunshot wounds. Investigators don’t believe anyone else was involved in the transaction or the shooting, a spokesman said.
