Facebook Live Gone Wrong: Chicago Father Kevin "Tugg" Watson Shot in Broad Daylight.
In this chilling and tragic footage from a Facebook Live stream, 42-year-old Chicago father Kevin "Tugg" Watson is fatally shot in a parking lot on the 5000 block of W. Madison Street in the South Austin neighborhood—just a mile from a police station. What started as a casual rant about a parking dispute turned into horror as Watson, visiting his cousin's jobsite, jumped into his car to connect with friends and family. Around 6:14 p.m., an unidentified gunman pulls up alongside him. Watson startles, raises his hands, and calls out, "What’s up bro?" before leaping from the vehicle. Off-camera shouts of "What’s up? Hell na" echo, followed by a single devastating gunshot. Witnesses and loved ones watching from home rushed to his aid as he collapsed, but it was too late. Reports suggest Watson knew the shooter and even tried to wrestle the gun away in a desperate struggle. A devoted dad to his 6-year-old son, Watson's life was cut short just weeks before his birthday. As of now, no arrests have been made in this brazen daytime murder. This video serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing violence plaguing Chicago's streets and the vulnerability captured in real-time on social media.
