Surveillance video showed the moments leading up to the shooting. Smyrna police said the suspect is a man, who runs up to the victim in front of a package store. He puts the gun in the victims face during a scuffle before firing one, deadly shot. 

"He has no regard for anyone," the victim's aunt, Sharinda Ezzard, said about the suspect. "He walked through people and done what he did to my nephew with no regard to anyone else. That video hurts. That is a hard video to watch."
