An almost tragic live stream in New York City caused a shock to the online streaming community. What started as light entertainment, soon turned into a real life threat where shots were fired as the cameras continued to roll.
The event shocked the audiences and brought new questions on security as producers keep losing the distinction between real life and live shows.For Konvy, the scare was deeply personal. The 22 year old streamer, whose real name is Steven Garcia, was inside a vehicle with friends when shots rang out in the Bronx. While he escaped unharmed, the gravity of the moment lingered long after the stream ended. Six bullets reportedly struck the vehicle, forcing everyone inside to duck for cover in seconds that felt far longer.
