Perkins then shows other friends on the phone, and baby strollers can be seen, and a little later a child can be heard.

Perkins make a move as gunshots are heard. The phone hits the floor, and as people shout and cry, he seems to pick up the handset.

The grass can be seen with blood on it, and there is a brief clip of his face.

A man can be seen hiding behind a car – while someone can be heard shouting “Tony's f****** down, n****!”

The screen is then black but people can be heard telling “Tony” to stay conscious, as well as cries of “Oh my God!”

Others are saying: “Call the police! Hurry up!” and another says: “Man somebody call an ambulance, please!”

The voices continue: “Tony! You good, Tony! You good, Tony!”

Another says: “He bleeding out his mouth and his nose right now.”

A woman distraught and shouting can be heard: “Baby, wake up! Tony, stay breathing! I love you! Tony, baby! Come on! Please!”

The onlookers can be heard arguing about whether they should turn him over, or if that will cause him to choke on his own blood.

Then ambulance crew can be heard arriving at the scene and they ask people to stand back.
