A 28-year-old man has been arrested for willful disregard of safety after he goaded another man into doing a back flip that ultimately killed him.
Larry Coner, 55, was homeless and approached Keonte Jones in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 20 asking for help.
Jones said he would give him $6 if he pulled off the stunt, then broadcast the moment Coner attempted the move numerous times before he landed on his neck and became unresponsive.
As Coner lay dying on the 800 block of West Jones Avenue, Jones jokes, 'He's gone to sleep!'
Jones tells onlookers not to call for help, although one woman does. At one point stands over Coner saying: 'Here, here, take your $6.'
Keonte Jones, 28, was arrested Tuesday for felony willful disregard of a person’s safety in the death of 55-year-old Larry Coner, Las Vegas police said in a statement.
