Detective Fabian Ramirez believes the unmasked man in the video was on the lookout. The video shows him closing the hood of a car to signal to his partner that the targets were approaching.

The video also shows the masked man hiding behind a line of dense bushes and then jumping up toward the victims to take the bag of a man who was with Faustin, police said.

When the masked man fired his weapon, he fatally shot Faustin and injured the man he was with, police said. Ramirez is asking anyone with information about the murder to call him at 407-254-7000, extension 70540.
