When Medina turned away, the suspect reportedly reached into his bag, pulled out a gun and opened fire, striking the victim in the head and neck.  

According to the unnamed witness speaking to New York Daily News, the gunman continued firing on Medina after he collapsed mortally wounded to the ground. 

'It was execution style. He shot him in the back of the head and kept shooting to finish him,' the witness told the paper. 

Police have not said how many times the victim was shot, but photos taken at the scene show at least eight orange evidence markers dotting the blood-stained ground outside the La Victoria convenience store. 

The witness said that after the shooter walked away, he rushed to Medina to render aid, but it was too late.
