"The victim remains in the hospital until this day and will most likely spend his Thanksgiving holiday in the hospital due to his injuries," said BSO spokesperson Gerdy St. Louis.
The video shocked some business owners who work nearby.
"It’s incredibly tragic that it was someone who was just minding their own business," said Avatar Ojar, who owns a shipping company nearby. He's kept his door locked every day since the shooting.
