ATLANTA (AP) - Prosecutors say a 22-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for fatally shooting a man over a PlayStation 4 nearly two years ago.

The Fulton County District Attorney's Office say Nathaniel Vivian was found guilty Wednesday in the 2014 death of 28-year-old Daniel Zeitz. Vivian and Kayla Dixon, a 16 year older at the time, planned to rob Zeitz at gunpoint during a Craigslist sale.

Prosecutors say Vivian refused to pay $280 for the PlayStation and attempted to take the console away from Zeitz. Prosecutors say Zeitz refused to surrender the console, and Vivian shot him in the chest. The shooting also took place in front of Dixon's 1-year-old daughter.

Zeitz was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dixon was sentenced to 40 years in prison after she pleaded guilty to murder in July.
