The person can then be seen waiting and peeking behind a building at the corner.
As the victim, who is carrying a small bag, walks along the sidewalk and approaches the corner, the person walks out from behind the building and towards the victim, pointing at him what appears to be a gun.
The victim then hands the person the bag and then attempts to tackle the alleged robber. Both fall to the ground, with the attacker pinning the victim.

Another person then exits the vehicle and walks towards the two. The attacker then stands up, and shoots the victim twice at close range. He then fires another shot as the victim remained on the ground.
