A man shot dead: caught on Facebook Livestream

In the last few months, Facebook has been featuring Livestream function. The feature allows you to publish a video in real time from your smartphones. And recently, a Chicago man was shot dead when he was live streaming a video on Facebook. His whole killing scene was caught on the camera. The 28-year-old Antonio Perkins died by many gunshot wounds to his neck and his head. It was on Wednesday, June 15th.

In the first 14 minutes of the video, the man was hanging out and drinking with friends , complaining about the weather. 6 minutes later, there were about a dozen gunshots. The phone then fell to the ground and captured a bloody area of grass. You can hear a lot of crying and screaming like “Call the police!”. And then the screen went black and kept broadcasting for about 30 more minutes. Perkins left behind his children who are only under the age of 5.

This video still hasn’t been taken down. The spokesman of Facebook said that this is because the video doesn’t support killing. Chicago- the 3rd largest city in the US- has a ton of gun violence cases. There are lots of violence and gun stealing. Last years, this city had about 500 homicides, most of which are about guns. This year, murdering in Chicago is up to 71,9% in the first few months.

Violence on Facebook Livestream: not the first time

This is not the first time that the Facebook Livestream involves killing and terrorism. Earlier in 2016, a man was shot while live-streaming in Chicago. Or in France, a 25-year-old ISIS terrorist killed a police commander and his partner. After that, he broadcasted his horrible crime to Facebook and threatened to terrorize at the Euro 2016. Not just that, he also encouraged people to follow him by killing police officials, journalists, prison staffs and lawmakers.
