A father-of-three was shot and killed whilst on livestream during a snack run to the shop.

The 38-year-old ,who went under the online tag of Danny Stranger, was shot multiple times during the trip to the shop.

The stream, which racked up over 52,000 views, had been running for around five hours before he left to get snacks.

The eerie footage captured the moments shots can be heard outside his trailer next to the convenience store.

His family found out about the shooting whilst watching the stream continue to broadcast his empty setup until the power ran out.

On 8 March, he was shot several times outside the Pik-A-Pop store on Fourth Avenue, Pasco, Washington, as reported by Need To Know.

The shots took place around 10:20pm, with cops arriving shortly after to Danny’s lifeless body and three members of the public around him.

Suspects claimed he had pulled a gun out on the group with them firing back in self-defence.

Pasco Police have not confirmed the details with no arrests made as of yet, however, all involved have been identified.

Danny’s niece Meranda Onouye claimed he hated guns and wasn’t legally allowed to own one.

She confirmed that he struggled with mental health issues, as reported by the Tri-City Herald.

The violent death has led to questions by family who don’t believe he was armed.

Meranda has now set up a GoFundMe to raise money for the funeral.

“We want to honour his memory and give him the farewell he deserves, but the costs of funeral arrangements are more than our family can manage alone,” Meranda said.

She added: “I know he had some difficulties, but he really did care about everyone.”
