A man is charged in the death of a homeless man. Keonte Jones, 28, can be heard in video laughing at Larry Coner, 55, after Coner sustained an injury that would kill him, Las Vegas police say. Now Jones is facing time behind bars.

The victim attempted the maneuver twice, but only did cartwheels. He tried one more time, this time launching toward his back, but he didn’t land on his feet. He fell with an audible thud, apparently head first. The man identified as Jones laughed. The victim did not get up.

“He hit a backflip, and went to sleep,” he said. Jones told people at the scene to leave Coner alone, and that the man would get up.

“He’ll be all right, n***a,” he said.

“You ain’t got no fricking remorse, or heart,” said a woman in the video.

The man identified as Jones approached the victim.

“Here,” he said. “Take your six dollars, n***a.”

This was about 1:23 of the footage. The total clip is 10:26. Jones would cackle through the entire thing as Coner barely moved.

“As the incident went live on Facebook, Jones continued laughing and filming Coner for almost 10 minutes while telling onlookers not to call medical,” police said.
