Video captured shooting that killed Chicago toddler

-

CHICAGO — Police are examining dramatic video that captured a shooting that killed a toddler and a man authoritie­s say was the intended target. The video , streamed live on Facebook, was taken from inside a car driven by a young woman who was wounded in the shooting. The man and 2-year-old Levontay White were also in the car. The woman and man can be seen listening to rap music before more than a dozen shots ring out. Screaming is heard as the footage becomes jumbled but shows the woman exiting the car and running toward a house. The video goes to black, but the audio continues and people can be heard yelling, “Oh my God,” ‘‘I can’t breathe,” and ‘‘Please, no, no.” Police suspect the 26-yearold man was the target of a gang hit. The man was Levontay’s uncle and a documented gang member with an extensive criminal history that included arrests for armed robbery and burglary, according to police.
