The mother of a 31-year-old Chicago man who was shot while posting a video to Facebook on Friday says she cried when she watched the footage.
The mother recalled seeing her son on the ground following the shooting.
'I seen my baby lying on the ground,' she tearfully told the
Chicago Tribune before saying she watched video of the event just hours after the shooting.
'Oh my God, no,' the mother could be heard screaming in the harrowing video.
'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. ... Oh my God, I don't believe this. I don't believe this,' the recording continues.
A report by
ABC7 identified the victim as 31-year-old Brian Fields, who friends say is better known as Sugar Ray.
Brian's mom told the Tribune that prior to the shooting, her son who was visiting from out of town, met her at a gas station near the corner store.
She said her son got a phone call from a friend and he agreed to meet the friend around the corner where he was shot.
Anthony Guglielmi, the Police Department's chief spokesman, said on Friday that the shooting may have been a retaliation against the victim who was convicted of murder in 2009 or it was gang related. Police also said they are confident that the video is not a hoax.
