A man only identified as “CT” shared the moment he was confronted in a Phoenix Park and verbally assaulted by two men and a teen who called him a “n*gger” as he tried to take photos around 9p.m.
The 33-year-old victim happened to be streaming live on Facebook around 9p.m. when they approached and things quickly went left.
“My man, I told you you can’t say the n-word, you’re not Black,” CT said he told one of the men, according to Fox 10.
“I say what the [expletive] I want,” one of the suspects responded.
“No, you cannot.. not in front of me,” CT says, “Didn’t I tell you don’t say the n-word? Didn’t I say that?”
Police said CT was then shot nine times by Ricardo Mendoza-Sanchez and Angel Romero, both 18. The 17-year-old minor along with the suspects, has not been named.
CT managed to muster up the strength to call the police and was rushed to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries to his shoulder, hip, arm, wrist and legs, but expects to recover, ABC 15 reports.
“I’m here because of the blessing of god. I’m here because I have a purpose on earth,” CT told the outlet.
