A man has captured his own murder on Facebook.

CHICAGO police say they’re investigating the killing of a gang member who appears to have captured his own fatal shooting in a real-time video post on Facebook.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man as 28-year-old Antonio Perkins. He was shot Wednesday in the North Lawndale neighbourhood in Chicago, the New York Times reports.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says detectives discovered the video on the man’s Facebook page and believe it’s authentic.

The video shows a man recording himself standing outside and looking from side to side. Shots ring out and the camera falls to the ground in grass spattered with blood.

Guglielmi says Perkins served two years in prison for making heroin and was on the department’s “strategic subjects list” of people determined to be likely targets or suspects in gang violence.

This isn’t the only time a young man in Chicago has been shot while lifestreaming. An eerily similar incident happened back in March:
