A Camden County man was fatally shot in Atlantic City early Sunday morning.
The shooting happened before 1 a.m. in the area of Atlantic and Kentucky avenues.
Anthony Crews, 34, of Chiselhurst was the victim, Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner said.
At least one Facebook user went on Live after police arrived on the scene.
"He was standing right beside me," the man filming said.
A police officer was seen working on Crews, who was lying in front of the law office of Keith Zaid on the corner.
An EMT arrived several minutes later, but neither was able to revive the man.
"He's gone," the man filming repeats several times as the EMT continues with chest compressions.
The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office Major Crimes Unit is investigating with Atlantic City police.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Prosecutor's Office at 609-909-7800 or Atlantic City police at 609-347-5766. Information may also be texted anonymously to tip411 (847411) beginning the text with ACPD.
