Edward Stoddard is being sought in connection with a shooting death.

PASCO COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- The Pasco County Sheriff's Office is looking for a suspect in a Wednesday afternoon shooting death that may have been because of a missing Playstation 3.

Investigators say the suspect, Edward Keith Stoddard, shot 26-year-old Douglas Abrams Jr. at his neighbor's home in Wesley Chapel at about 1 p.m.

Detectives said Stoddard then fled in a 2003 green Dodge pickup 1500 truck with a license plate number of 231-JCG.

Anyone who sees Stoddard is asked to call 911.

In 2004, four people were charged for beating six people to death for an Xbox.
