But later speaking with police, Whitler said Broad Jr. was shot by another teen who was in the house, 18-year-old Evan Vowell, who apparently recorded the shooting on his cell phone and turned over the footage to the police for evidence, the outlet reported.

In the video, Vining preceded the fatal shooting by showing Vowell, Broad Jr., Whitler and at least one other teen a 9mm gun and a vest, asking if they “had ever seen anyone get shot with a bullet proof vest on."

The video shows that Broad Jr. first took a shot at Vining, who was wearing the vest, while Whitler stood nearby.
