Less than 24 hours after the fatal shooting, a police investigation has not only revealed the identity of the victim but also obtained video of the suspected killer and his accomplice.

The couple then fled on foot.  


Police obtained video of the suspected gunman and his accomplice from a grocery store camera. Cops say they were in the store prior to the shooting.
