A man in Chicago appears to have livestreamed the moment he was fatally shot on Facebook police say, according to DNA Info. This isn't the first time something like this happens. In February a man in Chicago was also livestreaming when he was shot multiple times outside of a convenience store.
The man fatally shot has been identified as 28-year-old Antonio Perkins. DNA Inforeported Perkins was shot dead at 8:43 p.m. on Wednesday. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said Perkins was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and was declared dead at 9:07 p.m. The Chicago Sun Timesreported Perkins received gunshot wounds to the head and neck.
In the video, which DNA Info obtained a part of, Perkins is seen recording himself looking into the camera and away from it without saying anything.
Later in the video, Perkins can be heard saying, "Boy, stop it" before you hear the first two shots. Several more shots are heard afterward. Perkins doesn't stay up much longer before the camera goes out of focus and falls to the ground where blood-stained grass is seen before coming back up again to show a car driving away before finally going dark.
People are heard screaming at the end of the video.
A police spokesman said the video was being investigated and that it could not be confirmed if it was Perkins. Police also said no arrests have been made.
Sadly this is more evidence of the violence in Chicago. Over Chicago's Memorial Day weekend four people were killed and 40 were injured.
