Witnesses claimed the man shot was Garrett Foster, who was seen doing an interview a day before the shooting carrying an AK-47-style rifle and telling an interviewer: "If I use it against the cops I'm dead but I think all the people who hate us and want to say things to us are too big of p***ies to actually stop and do anything about it."

Video shared from a second angle missed the shooting but appeared to capture the crowd swarming around the driver's car after they take a right-hand turn.
