Just after 3 a.m., the shooter, Nero, exited the bar at 230 Decatur Street and retrieved a gun from a man in a nearby GMC SUV. Minutes later, another man left the bar and confronted Nero in the street. The two men argued briefly, but when the man attempted to punch Nero, he pulled out a gun and shot him in the neck, according to a nearby business owner who observed the scene on surveillance video.

After shooting his former coworker, Nero unloaded his gun, placed it in the middle of the road and waited for police to arrive, the arrest warrant and nearby business owner confirm. The man who handed Nero the gun, sat on the SUV's hood and also made no attempt to flee. When asked by police who had shot the man, Nero admitted he had. Police arrested him at the scene, but did not apprehend the man atop the SUV.
