Reports have shown that the youngest victim to die in the tragic shooting at the historic Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C. shared a Snapchat video from the doomed bible study group in the moments before DylannStormRoof killed him and eight others.

In the victim, TywanzaSanders'sSnapchat video, which was obtained by Mashable and confirmed by four friends, a man is seen talking to the group seated around a large table covered with papers.

In the video most of the participants at the bible study — and all of the victims — are black. But one man, seated at the far end of the table, is white. Friends of Sanders say that man is Roof.

Investigations have revealed that the bible study participants had welcomed the 21-year-old to sit with the group only to have him turn his gun on them after being there for an hour.

"I didn't notice until now that Dylann was just a few people away from Wanza," one friend of the victim who recorded that Snapchat video was quoted as saying after seeing the clip. "You can slightly see him in the right corner of the screenshot."
