As Man Lay Dying, Witnesses Turned Away

After the shooting, one witness — who was just feet away from the gunman — looked for a moment at Price\’s body and then turned away. Not only did he finish pumping his kerosene, but the man paid for the purchase and drove off, giving the camera its clearest look at Price lying by the pump. Police have not found that customer.

For the next few minutes, the camera records a series of cars pulling away from the station, with at least one new car pulling up to the kerosene pump where Price lay. But it is not until about 9:13, more than three minutes after the shooting, that the gas station\’s manager is seen approaching the body.

Note to self: Don\’t get shot in Washington D.C.
