Surveillance video showed the victim, a man, get out of his car and walk over to Falek's car.
Port St. Lucie Master Sgt. Dominick Mesisiti told NBC affiliate WPTV that the victim in this case was not confrontational.
“He walked up, remained away from the suspect's vehicle, and kind of did like a, ‘Hey dude, you know what? What's up?’” Mesiti said.

According to the affidavit, the victim asked Falek to stop honking his horn while he waited for parking space. That's when Falek pulled out a gun with a scope on it.
Falek then reportedly yelled out "vulgar" comments while the other man returned to his car.
A person with the victim called police and was able to get a photo of the suspect's car and license plate.
Police arrived and reviewed Publix's surveillance footage of the incident in the parking lot, which appeared to support the victim's statement.
Police found Falek a short time later. Bodycam video showed him being detained by police and placed in the back of a patrol car.
He was being held on a $5,000 bond.
