A disturbing video making the rounds on social media captures the moment a man allegedly shot and killed another man during a confrontation.
The exact cause of the confrontation was not stated in the viral video, but a poster claimed the victim was the boyfriend of a lady that the other guy was also seeing.
The victim was said to have tracked the other gentleman to his neighbourhood and attempted to confront him with a broken bottle.
Brandishing the bottle in his right hand, the victim is seen charging aggressively at the alleged side guy, who appears heavier in build than the main boyfriend.
A third man can be seen in the clip trying to keep the feuding two apart.
At some point, the man being confronted turns around and walks over to his car.
The main boyfriend throws down the bottle in his hand, apparently believing the other man is retreating.
The side guy opens the glove compartment of his car and returns wielding a firearm, which he fires three times into the chest of his assailant, k!lling him.
The incident has sparked outrage and debate online, with many questioning the use of lethal force when the matter appeared to have de-escalated.
Many pointed out that it could no longer be called self-defence, because the aggressor had thrown down the bottle in the belief that the confrontation was over.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident as the video continues to circulate widely.
