A reggae star’s son has been shot dead in broad daylight as he was live-streaming.

Jabari “Baba Skeng” Johnson was chatting to the camera with a wide grin on his face when a man walked up behind him.

Johnson, 25, was completely oblivious as the man raised a handgun and pointed it at the back of his head.

The gunman, whose face was concealed with a hood, opened fire and killed Johnson with a single shot from point-blank range.

He continued firing the victim with bullets as he lay unresponsive on the ground.

A shocked look appeared on the face of the man whom Johnson had been talking to on the TikTok livestream.

After killing his victim, the suspect simply walked away, as reported by Need To Know.
