Chicago Man, Kevin Watson, Who Was Shot and Killed While Doing a Facebook Live Had Shared a Similar Story Few Months Ago

A Facebook Live was launched by 42-year-old Kevin Watson while he was seated in his vehicle just prior to the shooting. Since then, the terrifying video has received over 2.5 million views.

According to his relatives, a Chicago man was shot and killed while live-streaming on Facebook. Around 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Kevin Watson, 42, was in a parking lot in the South Austin neighborhood’s 5000 block of West Madison when a car pulled up and someone “produced a handgun and fired shots,” according to the Chicago Police Department. The examiner attested to Watson’s death from a chest wound.

Shortly before the incident, Watson had launched a Facebook Live while driving. Now as it turns out Kevin was seen online about a few months ago sharing a similar story on facebook. As his luck would have it, he became a story of his own.
