Sept. 25 surveillance video showed the confrontation that led to the shooting. About 10 p.m., a teenage girl went into the bathroom and wouldn't come out. A man banged on the door demanding that she get out.

There was an argument before Ayyash, of Pompano Beach, shot Drakkar Allen, 19, Zkhan Allen, 18, and Yakima Moncur, 17.

Ayyash faces charges of attempted murder, the BSO said.
