The incident occurred on the 1600 block of South Drake Avenue around 8:45 p.m., authorities told the Chicago Tribune

The Tribune transcribed dialogue heard in the video after Perkins was shot. In it, people can be heard describing the extent of his injuries, and a woman is heard saying "he's choking on his blood."

Perkins' father told Fox that Antonio "was a good guy and not involved in gangs." The police told Fox that he was a documented gang member. According to the station, Perkins had recently purchased a car and was starting a new job at McDonald's.
