As he crosses the street, a black sedan slowly pulls up to Robinson’s left, prompting him to pause and look at the sedan, the video shows.
The car rolls across the street at about the same pace as Robinson and his daughter.
When Robinson and his daughter reach the other side of the street, he turns away from the sedan and says something to his daughter, the video shows.
At that moment, the shooter sticks a gun out of the passenger window and fires at Robinson, hitting him in the chest, the Post reported.
He was hit multiple times, according to Harrison.
Robinson falls to the pavement, as his daughter and a bystander run off to the right, appearing to be physically unharmed, the video shows.
Robinson was taken by ambulance to the BronxCare Health System, where he was pronounced dead, the Post reported.
Ten people were fatally shot in 30 shootings over the July 4 weekend in New York City, according to WABC-TV.
A total of 48 people were shot, the outlet reported, citing police.
Nobody related to Robinson’s killing has been arrested, the Post reported, and authorities are asking anybody with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
