The video, shot at the location of Thursday’s shooting, shows a man looking into a camera he’s holding toward himself, talking and smiling. The man glances to the side, the camera falls and shots are heard. A person holding a gun is then seen firing multiple shots while the man is out of sight.
Giancamilli says detectives are working on confirming the video’s authenticity.
