Kevin Watson, 42, was killed on the evening of August 13, 2025, while sitting in his car on the 5000 block of West Madison Street in Chicago’s South Austin neighborhood. He was streaming on Facebook Live when another vehicle pulled up, and surveillance of the moment shows him stepping out of the car after appearing startled; a single gunshot then struck him in the chest. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and pronounced dead, the Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed.

Witnesses described a brief confrontation that escalated into a struggle with a man who approached Watson and then returned to his own vehicle; during that fight a firearm discharged and the livestream went silent. Detectives marked evidence at the scene and recovered a chain bearing his nickname Tugg. Friends and family remembered him as a devoted father to a seven-year-old son who often connected with the community online.

No arrests had been announced and police had not released a suspect description as investigators reviewed witness statements and the video. If anyone has information about the shooting on August 13, 2025, near 5000 West Madison Street, please share what you know.
