That club owner told Channel 2′s Darryn Moore during Channel 2 Action News Saturday AM that his security cameras captured the shooting.

He said prior to the shooting, two men asked to use the restroom. He would not let them in unless they paid a cover charge, so the pair of men went to relieve themselves in the woods.

“He was running back to his car. Dude just shot him and you can see him running around the Citgo. It looked like a homeless dude,” the club owner, who did not want to be identified, said.
