A Twitter user named @TheePharoah appears to have been on the scene tweeting from inside his home when Michael Brown, 18, was gunned down in the street by Ferguson policeman Darren Wilson on Aug. 9.
The Ferguson-based rapper began tweeting just after noon local time, and the time stamps on his tweets match up with the timeline of Brown's death. Thee Pharoah, who claims to live on the street where Brown was shot, also tweeted out photos, and provided updates on the immediate aftermath of the shooting. Here are his unadulterated tweets:

Wow. It seems like a good bet that Thee Pharoah's going to be subpoenaed. Until then, here's everything we know about the Michael Brown case so far.
