A Facebook Live video has captured the moment that a two-year-old boy was shot dead in a car alongside his aunt’s boyfriend.

Lavontay White, his aunt and her boyfriend were driving in Chicago when a gunman cut them off, got out of the car and opened fire on their vehicle.

His aunt, 20-year-old Breunna Devonte, who is pregnant, happened to be filming at the time.Her video was still paying as she fled the car, screaming for help.

At the start of the video, Ms Devonte and her boyfriend are singing along to music with Lavontay in the back seat. About three minutes later, several shots ring out.

Ms Devonte runs back down the street and begs a neighbour to let her in.

"Call 911! They killed him...I have a bullet in my stomach."

"Please, please, I can't breathe," she continues. "Oh my God, please don't, Lord, I can't go. I can't go."
