He had already been declared dead when EMS arrived.
Investigators confirmed the individual was Black but did not disclose any other information about his identification.
“Unfortunately, it wasn’t a surprise for me like it should be, but it just makes you afraid to go out in public to do your daily activities,” said Johnathan Baudoin, who left the store just minutes after it happened. “Thankfully, I had missed it. But I feel bad for the others who were unfortunate enough to witness the whole incident.”
