A witness to the shooting, Jay Sareini, said he tried to save Dex by applying pressure to his wounds.
“So I’m sitting there applying pressure… and he’s talking to me,” Sareini said. “He’s alive, he’s talking to me. ‘Please don’t let me die, please don’t let me,’ grabbing on to me.”Sareini said he died quickly, and kept telling him he was cold.
” ‘I’m cold, I’m cold, don’t let me die,’ ” Sareini said that Dex Osama said. ” ‘Lift me up, I can’t breathe,’ cause he’s a big boy. He was on his back.”
