Kick streamer WestCOL wasn’t actually shot; he was acting in a scene during his stream where he played a role as an actor for the day.
Popular Colombian Kick streamer Luis “WestCOL” hosted a livestream titled “Actor for a Day,” where a staged shootout took place. A clip of the staged shootout went viral, showing WestCOL being shot in his arm. The clip also showed medical professionals bandaging his arm, which several users on X thought was real.
He also posted a picture of his bandaged arm on X and said that he was shot while someone tried to rob him. The streamer later responded to the situation and tweeted about how easy it was to spread misinformation on the internet.
