Khaseen Morris, 16, was stabbed to death when a brawl broke out outside a strip mall on Long Island.

Disturbing video captured the deadly brawl outside a pizzeria in Oceanside Monday afternoon that led to the 16-year-old's murder.

The fight was caught on cellphones by some of the 50 or more teens gathered at an Oceanside strip mall after school on Sept. 16 in what police said was a prearranged fistfight after Morris was seen with another boy's girlfriend.

Police said Khaseen was threatened, then set upon by six or seven teens from another school district. He was stabbed once in the chest and later died.
