He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Facebook has removed the video.

He was reportedly rapping for 35 seconds from inside of a car, according to CNN. A nearby store clerk told NBC New York, “I thought it was a firecracker or people playing. I didn’t know it was that serious.”

Another witness said, “The guy literally got shot in front of my friend’s house. It’s horrible.”

Jeremiah’s mother, Debra Dickey, told CNN, “I just miss my son. I shouldn’t have to be sitting here sobbing while they’re still out there running free.”
