The driver's side door of the gray sedan was open while red and yellow caution tape blocked off the area. Bullet holes were visible in the car.
The driver of the cab said that he heard gunshots just blocks away from where he was parked before seeing the gray sedan zig-zagging very fast toward him. Jacques Synvain told NBC10 that he was very scared.
"I said, 'God, I might be dying,'" the cab driver explained. "Because, the car coming with speed."
Synvain said that he was not hurt, but he said that he could tell the driver of the gray sedan was badly injured.
Surveillance video shared with NBC10 seems to capture the moment the victim was shot by the suspect.
In the video, someone can be seen getting into the gray sedan. As the car starts to pull away, another person who appears to be carrying a gun steps in front of the car then to the driver's side and appears to open fire.
"A while ago someone got shot up the street. There’s a lot of violence in this area so it’s not surprising but it’s surprising it was directly in front of the store," Brianna Colter, who witnessed the incident, said.
Over the weekend, Garrison was charged with murder and related counts. Court records don't list an attorney who could comment on Garrison's behalf.
Despite this deadly shooting, homicides in Philadelphia are down this year, according to police data. As of Sunday morning, at least 233 homicides have been reported in the city this year, the lowest year-to-date total in a decade.
