A man was shot dead in the United States after making a fake robbery video for his YouTube content.

The police from Nashville, Tennessee said that they received a call to the car park of Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park on Friday evening.

Upon arrival to the scene, 23-year-old David Starnes said that he shot 20-year-old Timothy Wilks.

Witnesses told the police that Wilks and a friend were making a video, and approached a group of people, including Starnes.

Starnes said that he was unaware of the prank video and later on shot Wilks in defense of himself.

An investigation has begun, and no one has been charged for the YouTuber’s death yet. (TDT)
