Prentis Robinson was allegedly shot dead by 65-year-old Douglas Cleveland Colson in Wingate, North Carolina, on Monday as Robinson was filming the encounter on Facebook Live, according to the Charlotte Observer.
Before the shooting, Robinson was on Facebook Live, talking about his phone getting stolen, the Observer reported.
Robinson went to the Wingate Police Department and spoke with the police chief about his missing phone. As Robinson continued to roll on Facebook Live, Chief Donnie Gay said to the camera, "Bring his phone back so he can get on with his way today," according to the newspaper.
Robinson then left the police department and encountered someone else; Robinson seems to say "You on live" several times to that person, the newspaper said. Then gunshots ran out.
Colson is in custody and is facing a first-degree murder charge. He is set to appear in court on Wednesday.
