Khaseen Morris, 16, was the victim of a stab wound to the chest, which turned fatal as 50-plus teens stood by and watched instead of attempting to help him during a brawl at a strip mall in Long Island, N.Y.
The fight, which occurred in Long Island’s Oceanside community, was recorded and shared on social media, allowing police authorities to estimate the number of teens who watched or participated, according to The New York Times. He attended Oceanside High School.
For those who watched, they also observed Morris laying on the concrete bleeding, as seen in a video that circulated Snapchat and additional social media applications.

Khaseen died Monday night at an area hospital, just a month ahead of his 17th birthday, according to Buzzfeed News.
“Kids stood here and didn’t help Khaseen — they would rather video this event. They videoed his death instead of helping him,” Nassau County Police Department Detective Lt. Stephen Fitzpatrick said at a press conference. “Your friends are dying while you’re standing there and videoing it. That’s egregious.”
