NBC10 crews were at the scene where a gray sedan and a white cab appeared to have crashed into each other. The front ends of both vehicles sustained visible damage.
The driver's side door of the gray sedan was open while red and yellow caution tape blocked off the area.
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. He told NBC10 that he was very scared.
"I said, 'God, I might be dying,'" the cab driver explained. "Because, the car coming with speed."
The driver 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.
