"The crime in Houston is at an all-time high," said Robert Moore, the shop owner.
The video shows a suspect in a black hoodie, black face covering, blue sweatpants with a white stripe down the side and possibly high-top black Air Force Ones.
The shooter, armed with an assault rifle, took the victim's wallet after killing him.
"I suspect it to be a targeted hit," said Moore. "I find it to be an execution. It's beyond just being shot. This was an execution - they wanted to make sure, whoever did it, wanted to make sure this guy was deceased."
Moore says he's tired of the crime in Houston and wants to see more done about it.
"I don't know if these people are being brought to justice. They're getting out on bonds, they had no respect for life, this needs to stop," he said.
