In the footage, a man wearing a backpack was seen exiting a store near to where Ranson was parked alongside several other vehicles.
He begins walking toward Ranson's white vehicle, but appears to stop for a moment to speak with the man who was talking to Ranson seconds before.
The man then turns around, and briefly passes one of the men who shot Ranson, who was openly gripping a handgun by his side.
