He was suspected of outing drug dealers on Facebook. Someone came for him during a live stream.

Prentis Robinson rarely went a day without using Facebook Live — his go-to way of broadcasting his music and his musings.

He was on Facebook Live on Monday, recording himself with a selfie stick, wearing the straw cowboy hat he often wore in videos. He talked about how his phone was stolen as he walked around Wingate, N.C., the town 30 miles southeast of Charlotte where he lives. He stopped by the Wingate Police Department to check in with Chief Donnie Gay.

“Bring his phone back so he can get on with his way today,” Gay said in front of Robinson’s camera, according to video, part of which was posted by the Charlotte Observer. Robinson left and kept walking.

Moments later, the camera captured and broadcast Robinson’s death.
