When Sharpe refused, the man shot him.

Police say the man was seen heading east on Franklin Boulevard. He's described as a black man with a medium complexion, 5-foot-10 to 6 feet tall. He was last seen wearing dark clothing and a white half-mask with red on it and was carrying a chrome-plated revolver.
