Young Man Reportedly Shot Dead By Police On Facebook Live
Indianapolis Metro police are investigating an officer-involved shooting on the northwest side that occurred shortly after 6 p.m. in the area of W. 62nd Street and N. Michigan Road. The entire incident was captured on the alleged victim’s Facebook live.
The man who is believed to be deceased goes by the name Sean DaDon on Facebook. He filmed himself driving and then eventually pulling over and exiting his vehicle. It has not been made clear why the police were chasing him, but Sean is seen in the video running on foot before he is tazed. Shortly after several shots can be heard and his phone falls to the ground and the sky becomes visible. Parts of the video also show one officer before the live is turned off.

The incident is currently under investigation.
