We looked up the handle @davidlock_ on Instagram and found that it belongs to a Colombian social media user. This account tracks crimes in Colombia. He posted<\/a> a still from the viral video on April 14, 2020 and wrote, \u201cThis man was murdered by a scammer, I do not know the state and the exact place.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Alt News reached out to a professional who is fluent in Spanish. They informed that the man with the gun said, \u201cTell me, tell me\u2026. [shoots] that\u2019s what you get for being a fraudster.\u201d<\/p>\n

A video where a man was shot dead has been falsely shared as an incident from India. However, the shooter is talking in Spanish and the video was uploaded by a Columbian Instagram user.<\/p>\n
