The Daily Mail has more:

Harrowing footage shared online shows Deshawn Thomas, the shooter, standing behind the homeless victim as he sits on the sidewalk with his hands covering his ears.

…

Witnesses said they saw the pair fighting outside the Shell gas station further up the street moments earlier.

Thomas fled the scene and was arrested after entering a public library later in the afternoon.

It remains unclear if Thomas – who has a forehead tattoo and neck tattoo- has a criminal record, or if he was out on bond or probation at the time of yesterday’s shooting.

Frightened St Louis residents say it is proof that local leaders including Soros-backed progressive Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner do not have a handle on the escalating crime.
