Spanish word for "they're going to"

Question

I'm a court reporter trying to spell some Spanish words correctly. The witness makes the statement in Spanish and then says, "which means, "I'm dead. They're going to kill my family." What I've been able to figure out so far is: soy muerto mi familia UNKNOWN WORD matar.

Can anyone help with the unknown word? It sounds kind of like bueno (I know that's not right), but I think it's a two syllable word. I could also use help with punctuation. Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Death is considered ongoing in spanish so they use estar and not ser and the gerundio would not be used i.e. the present progressive unless the act was being carried out at the precise moment so it would be "!Estoy muerto¡ van a matar mi familia" They are going to kill my family.

Answer 2

"Estoy muerto. Ellos van a matar a mi familia"

Answer 3

"!Estoy muerto¡ Van a matar mi familia"

I agree with Ken & Guillermo. It has to be "van a " they are going from the verb IR=to go. "Viendo"can't be used because it would have to be something they are in the process of doing like right now.

Answer 4

I would say "Soy muerto. Ellos estan viendo (estan viendo=they are going) matar mi familia."

estan viendo is the present progressive (i think thats the term) for estar (to be) and ir (to go).
