Aftermath:
And social media from Twitter about Instagram live:
CALIFORNIA rapper Indian Red Boy has been gunned down while filming an Instagram live video, say reports.
The 21-year-old artist - real name Zerail Dijon Rivera - was shot in the head three times as he sat behind the wheel of his car in the city of Hawthorne.
He was chatting online to fellow social media influencer Kapone when shots are suddenly heard.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department said the rapper was already dead when they arrived at the crime scene.
Shocking video posted online appears to show the moment a smiling Rivera is "targeted" as he talks to his friend.
He is then seen gasping for breath seconds after shots are heard ringing out.
A bloodied Indian Red Boy can be heard saying “get help” before slumping in his seat.
Those to have seen the tragic clip were left in shock.
One Twitter user wrote: “That Indian Red Boy video is brutal.
"One minute you laughing it up, next minute you gasping for breath begging for help.”
Kapone - known as kapaalxt8 on Instagram - shared the tragic news of the killing on Instagram.
He posted a video of Indian Red Boy dancing and wrote: "LLINDIANREDD. I LOVE YOU GANKG”
SUSPECT FLED SCENE
Reports say the attack occurred in the 14100 block of Chadron Avenue in Hawthorne at 4pm on Thursday.
According to Hawthorne police Lt. Ti Goetz the victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.
“It appears to have been a walk-up shooting and he appears to have been targeted,” Goetz told Daily Breeze.
There are unconfirmed reports the rapper was shot after a Nipsey Hussle tribute mural was defaced with paint.
Indian Red Boy has also been seen with guns and flashing gun signs in his Instagram page photos.
Authorities are still searching for the suspect who is responsible for the shooting and are reviewing video systems in the area.

It's crazy how rappers glorify this lifestyle and doing this shit to other people, but when it's their own it's a "tragedy"

I used to run around with people in that scene 20 years ago. I was never one of them, I was a heavy metal musician. But, we all sort of grew up together so we remained friends into early adulthood. But, my life took me in vastly different directions as I realized how dangerous it was being around them. I remember I was at a drug deal that went horribly wrong as the person buying thought my friend shorted them so he pulled out a gun and shot him in the head on the spot. He was sitting in the front passenger seat and me and my other friend were in the back. That was the moment I realized I needed to get away from these people.

He calls for help and you can see the frustration when the words come out in whispers. He knows he gonna die and the last thing hears is the other dumbass

THIS is what made this particular video eerie to me. It's not him getting gunned down, it's the fact that you can hear him take huge gasps for breath, but every time he attempted to talk it came out as something less than a whisper.
Shit reminds me of some nightmares i've had in the past, where I felt i was in imminent doom and couldn't voice out a scream or a yell, just a quiet whisper for help, no matter how hard i tried. Almost as If my voice was gone.

That nightmare has meaning. Have you looked into it?

I didn't, as i very rarely have that dream. Feels like just a one off nightmare, with no significant or deeper meaning behind it.

I had nightmares similar to that were I'm in my bedroom and I get shot multiple times in my stomach and I'm telling myself that I need to sit down and take deep breath's and stop panicking because in my mind the blood runs out faster as I breath heavier then feel myself getting cold. I'd wake up so f*****g relieved, crazy horrible dream.

That's a very interesting observation to be honest. I think you are very close - if not right on on - what causes people to have a thoughtful reaction when they see this video.

It's his flailing and the look of sheer panic and fear in his eyes. He knows he's dead and all he can do is squirm in frustration, pain, and fear. He's trying to deny the inevitable but his hope for rescue doesn't last long and he spends his final moments in some old car, dying on a side street. 21 years old.
That's what makes it hard for me to watch this. Smiling one moment, dead within a minute the next.

same, its one of the videos i have a harder time watching. its almost too personal. you can feel those gasps for breath in your own chest. i think its almost too grim of an educational video on what it would really be like to die from gunshot wounds to the torso. slow, painful, and horrifying.

Easy. Run around for clout telling his homies "I shot Indian Red Boy, I shot Indian Red Boy" till he gets caught up in some badshit and tells cops or another gang, "I didn't kill! anyone I didn't even know that nigga!" Kinda pathetic actually.

So apparently this guy was running around LA disrespecting nipsey Hussle after he got shot. He defaced one of nipsey murals too. He was asking for it. Nipsey Hussle made whack music.

Was Nipsey Hussle respecting or disrespecting Nipsey Russell with that name ?
(Julius "Nipsey" Russell was an American actor, comedian, poet, and dancer best known for his appearances as a panelist on game shows from the 1960s through the 1990s, including Match Game, Password, Hollywood Squares, To Tell the Truth, and Pyramid. Born: September 15, 1918, Atlanta, Georgia, United States Died: October 2, 2005 New York, NY.)

R.I.P. Gypsy Joe Trussel (1967-2014). Never forget. Gypsy "Joseph" Trussel was an American farm worker and union activist best known for absolutely nothing. Because I just made him up.

Bro I didn't even know he was named after someone and who really cares about a WW1 baby? I'm sure that guy who was born in 1918 was so mad he named himself that.
