A San Mateo high school graduate who was set to pitch baseball in his second year in college was shot to death Saturday night near San Francisco’s Ghirardelli Square while playing “Pokémon Go,” according to his family.

Calvin Riley, 20, was shot in the chest by an unknown assailant shortly before 10 p.m. near Aquatic Park, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics tried to revive him with CPR.

The area where Riley was killed is a landmark destination and popular tourist attraction in the Fisherman’s Wharf area that draws tens of thousands of visitors a day. Killings in the neighborhood are rare.

It's a shame Nancy Pelosi wasn't there to save him.

So I guess "playing Pokémon go" is already being used as cover for "drug deal"?

That is a pretty nice area and should have had people there around that time.

I was shocked to hear how shitty SF was. I've only been to San Diego once. My friend just got back from a California family trip to Disney and all over. Made a couple days in SF. They paid near $300 a night for a hotel and dealt with homeless the entire time. Drunk singing in the alley at all hours. One guy tried to jump in front of him after he put cash in the machine for the bus pass card? The guy tried to put his own card in the machine. Reaching ACROSS my friend before he could get his card in there.!!
