In the Facebook livestream, Watson can be seen talking from the driver’s seat of his car when a person approaches through the car window. Watson raises his hands and steps out of the car, and gunshots are then heard.

Watson was shot in the chest and later died from his injuries, the police said. As of now, no arrests have been made, and the investigation is underway, as reported by ABC Chicago.

What Happened In Video

In the livestream, Watson appeared to be discussing a parking dispute, though the exact details are unclear. In the video, he said, “I said, I said, listen, bro, if they do come, let us park right here. You feel me? If they do come, come get me. We’ll move the car so they can get the space. Whatever car we need so they can get the space. Let’s get the park.”
Soon after, the shooter approaches and opens fire. The video ends shortly after, showing bystanders discussing the situation and the car interior.
The Chicago Police Department has not released additional details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
