A Chicago man was gunned down in a parking lot outside his car on Wednesday as loved ones watched in horror from a Facebook Live stream.

Kevin Watson was visiting his cousin’s jobsite in the South Austin neighborhood when he got into his car in the parking lot to begin his livestream for friends and family, according to ABC7 Chicago.

The 42-year-old, who went by Tugg and wore a large chain with the name, had been ranting to his viewers about a recent parking dispute when a car pulled up next to him at around 6:14 p.m. on the 5000 block of W Madison Street, a mile east of a police station.

Watson jumped in his seat when he saw the unidentified gunman and raised his arms in the air, according to a disturbing video of the live stream shared online.

“What’s up bro?” Watson asked before quickly jumping out of his car.

“What’s up? Hell na,” he could be heard yelling off camera.

A single gunshot rang out over the video’s audio three seconds after Watson fled the vehicle.

Several people rushed to Watson, who had fallen to the ground outside his car.

The quick-thinking witnesses applied pressure to Watson’s wound as they waited for first responders to arrive.

Watson was struck once in the chest by the gunshot, the outlet reported, citing police.

Watson, who lived two blocks south of the shooting, was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The deadly shooting has been viewed over two million times on social media.

Watson allegedly knew the gunman and attempted to wrestle the gun out of the shooter’s hand before the shooting.

“He was talking to a guy, and he was going to his car, then the guy followed behind him,” Alvin Jackson told the outlet. “So, the guy followed behind him and pulled the gun on him. He was trying to wrestle with the gun, and the gun went off.”

Watson’s cousin, Jacquez Smith, recalled watching her critically wounded relative suffering as he lay in the parking lot.

“He was choking for breath,” Smith told ABC7. “He was trying to struggle to breathe.”

Watson, a father to a six-year-old son, died weeks before his birthday.

“I wouldn’t have let him walk out the store,” Smith added. “He was a good man. No matter what he done, he helped people, you know? He helped me get this job in here.”

No arrests or charges have been filed in the fatal shooting.

Over 200 people have been killed in shootings across Chicago in 2025.

The 206 tragic deaths are down compared to last year’s 316, according to city data comparing the beginning of the year to Aug. 12.
