Kick streamer Konvy was targeted in a drive-by shooting while livestreaming from the Bronx on Friday night, with the terrifying incident captured live on camera.
Adin Ross, a close friend and frequent collaborator of Konvy, confirmed the shooting was real during his own livestream hours after the attack. The shooting occurred while Konvy was broadcasting live with two friends in a vehicle in New York City.
Video footage shows the three men having a casual conversation when gunshots suddenly rang out, causing them to scramble for safety as the stream abruptly ended.
Viewers noticed a suspicious green laser dot appearing on Konvy’s head moments before the shooting began, though authorities have not confirmed whether this was connected to any targeting device.
