A video showing several Los Angeles Police Department officers fatally shooting a man on skid row appeared to have been removed from Facebook on Monday.

The original link posted in TPM’s article about the incident was broken and in place of the video was a message explaining the dead link:

This Facebook post is no longer available. It may have been removed or the privacy settings of the post may have changed.

It’s unclear who removed the video or why it was taken down.

Here is a screenshot of the caption, where the video was before it was removed:
