Seiden obtained surveillance footage of the shooting from the Shell gas station next door. The video shows the victim walking down the street when a gunman in a black hoodie starts to open fire from at least 50 yards away near the gas pumps. The victim collapses on the sidewalk outside of the restaurant.

The video shows terrified customers at the gas station ducking for cover behind their vehicles and running from the gunfire.

It’s unclear if police have identified the shooter.
