An Alabama teen has been busted in the murder of a man who was shot dead while streaming on Facebook Live, authorities said.
Bakari Ano Taylor, 19, was arrested Friday on capital murder charges in the Jan. 23 death of 34-year-old Roosevelt Rankins Jr. in Montgomery, Al.com reported.
Police announced Sunday that Taylor had been taken into custody by US Marshals and was being held without bond. The circumstances around the shooting are unclear.
In the 45-minute video, Rankins can be seen in a car looking to his right and flinching moments after a shadow appears next to him, the outlet reported.
The footage captures the sound of gunfire before the phone falls to the floorboards.
The livestream continues with Rankins attempting to escape before he crashes the vehicle, AL.com reported.
Someone could be heard yelling to 911 and telling Rankins to “don’t go” and “wake up,” the report said.
Rankins was discovered by authorities in the crashed vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene, the outlet reported.
