Investigators say the shooter and at least one other person inside a dark-colored Dodge Challenger waited on a street corner for at least two minutes while the victim and his friend drove by.
The shooter, dressed in dark clothing with an almost full head covering, eventually got out of the car and hid behind a parked van after the victims had passed.
Multi-angle montage of surveillance footage shows Challenger picking up the shooter and driving a short distance down the street where he exits the vehicle and shoots at least three times.

A new video shows the moments before police say a 17-year-old girl was shot while walking a dog with a friend. Police believe the victim, identified by family members as Teryn, was targeted by a shooter who remains at large.
Authorities are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
“It does appear that our deceased was specifically targeted,” Capt. Jason Smith of the Philadelphia Police Department told reporters at a Monday news conference.
Neighbors who rushed to Teryn’s aid said she had been shot at least seven times in the chest and side.
“It’s not right, they took my daughter away from me, no parent is supposed to outlive their child,” Paul Johnson, Teryn’s father, told FOX 29.
