Newton tried to run after him, unaware that he was armed, but then Joseph pointed the gun at him, authorities said. They then called authorities.
Police found Joseph at a residence where he admitted to the offense and led officers to the weapon and iPhone, the report said.
The defendant also admitted to an unrelated robbery where he stole Nike sneakers at gunpoint, authorities said.
All the victims said they will press charges against him. It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.
