TikToker is shot dead ‘by hitmen’ while live-streaming to his followers from Brazil
This is the shocking moment a popular TikToker, who made funny videos about his lifestyle, was shot dead while livestreaming to his followers from Brazil.
Nesaku filmed himself addressing his followers while smoking a cigarette and listening to music outside his home on Sunday, May 12.
But the video suddenly cut off in a gruesome manner. In the chilling clip of Nesaku’s final moments, a series of loud bangs can be heard.
The camera moves so quickly in the ten-second clip that it’s impossible to make out what’s happening, but at least five shots are heard before it stops.
Local media later revealed that the young man had been shot four times, including in the head, in what one outlet described as a “settling of scores.”
