North Carolina man killed on Facebook Live

AKIPRESS.COM - Police in North Carolina are searching for a suspect in the shooting death of a man who was killed while streaming live on Facebook, CNN reported. 

The shooting took place Monday in the town of Wingate. The victim has been identified as Prentis Robinson, 55.

Robinson's Facebook page is filled with live videos of him playing instruments and walking down the street with a selfie-stick.

Nothing seemed different when the 55-year-old was filming live Monday morning, selfie-stick in hand, complaining about a family member who Robinson claims stole one of his three cellphones. The video showed him stopping at the Wingate Police Department to report the alleged theft.

The Facebook video shows Robinson as he left the station, walked up a hill toward his home and exchanged a few words with another man.

Then there was gunfire and Robinson, along with his phone, fell to the ground.
