A California man, who sitting in a car outside a party, was shot and killed while live on FaceTime with a friend over the weekend.
Vincent Heredia, 26, was shot and killed Saturday night in San Bernardino, California, while he was waiting for a woman in his car outside a party while talking to a friend on FaceTime, KTTV-TV reported.
The friend on the call told the family he saw a Latino man in a dark hoodie pull open Heredia’s car door.
"I lost my voice, all the crying and grieving of my son," Heredia’s mother, Irene Melgoza, told KTTV-TV.

Heredia’s family believes the shooting could have been related to an earlier dispute with the father of his friend's child – the same friend he was waiting on.
"With the girl, she has a baby daddy, and he had gotten into a fight with my son," Heredia’s father, Mario Melgoza said. "I think the guy wanted revenge for that."
