A 28-year old Chicago man live streaming on Facebook was shot dead during his broadcast.
The live stream captured his murder. The 14-minute video featured the man drinking and hanging out with friends on a sidewalk. Six minutes into the video, there are gun shots, and screaming can be heard.
A spokesperson from the Chicago Police Department confirmed that the victim was pronounced dead following the shooting.
Detectives have confirmed that the video was connected to the shooting.
A spokeswoman from Facebook acknowledged that the video streamed live on its service. The video hasn’t been taken down (Facebook will remove a video if it celebrates violence) but all uploads and shares are marked with a user warning.
