Video shows wild brawl moments before 16-year-old boy shot dead on Christmas Day in California

A frantic video shows a chaotic street fight moments before a 16-year-old boy was shot and killed on Christmas Day in a blaze of gunfire that also injured four others — as a woman holding a toddler is seen looking on in fear.

A gang of young men and women can be seen yelling and punching each other in a wild daylight brawl.

At least three of the teenage-looking boys flash guns, one then points a handgun at the group.

“You gonna put a gun on me n—a, you’re a b—h,” a woman is heard saying before punching a teen in the face. Another says, “Don’t do it, the police just left.”

In a second video, eight gunshots and screaming can be heard as the camera points to the sky and the recording suddenly stops.

Before the shots ring out, a woman says, “I’ve got all this on camera” as a teen flashes what appear to be gang signs. The video has over 1.6 million views and was posted to X on Dec. 29.

The fatally wounded boy was identified as Zoen Flowers and pronounced dead at the scene in Lancaster, California by firefighters, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

A 17-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy and two men, aged 19 and 29, were rushed to a hospital and treated for gunshot wounds after the 1:10 p.m. shooting, according to law enforcement. The suspects are still at large.

The LA Sheriff’s Department didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for an update.

The victim’s aunts said the boy always tried his best and that his mom is devastated. “His mother is never going to stop crying for him,” she told NBC4.
