RNZ understands it was the result of an online marketplace sale gone wrong.<\/p>\n
The Herald<\/i>\u00a0is reporting the sale involved a $2000 pair of shoes, and according to a friend of the victim, two men travelled to the park to meet a seller they had connected with online.<\/p>\n
When they arrived, three people in masks confronted the pair, demanded money, and shot the victim when they refused, fleeing with mobile phones and other belongings.<\/p>\n
