According to a police report, the victim, Calvin “CJ” Brown Jr., entered the gas station in the 3400 block of Franklin Avenue at about 5:15 p.m. on Oct. 18, after his shift as a mailman ended.
Authorities say surveillance footage shows Raymond Coats, 20, entering the gas station shortly after, while a female he arrived with waited outside.
Witnesses said the two men began arguing in the store, then walked outside, with Brown heading toward his car and Coats walking north, back in the direction he came. The two continued talking after they split up, when Coats turned around and approached Brown’s car. Coats then took a handgun out of his sweatshirt and fired it four times, then ran with the female he arrived with, police say in the documents.
