Ayub Ali was shot dead Tuesday as he was working at his convenience
Ali, 61, was restocking the shelves of Aunt Molly's food store in North Lauderdale, Fla. , when an armed man came in around 12:40 and lingered in the aisles.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office shows the next man Ali and holding a gun to his back. They walk behind the counter, and Ali opens the cash register, raising his hands several times.
MPs said that after taking money and leaving the store, the man came back and shot Ali, who was taken to the Broward Health Medical Center.

A 19-year-old man identified as Tyrone Fields Jr. was arrested on Friday, a day after the sheriff's office released the surveillance video. "Watching the video, I wondered why [the robber] came back, everyone has the same question," said Mirza Mustaque, one of the sheriff's office officials. , the spokesman for the family, told NPR.
Ali lived near the port city of Chittagong in Bangladesh before immigrating to the United States two decades ago. He worked long hours in convenience stores, shoe stores and dollar stores to shop, says Mustaque.
And Ali was a generous and welcoming member of his Florida community, he said. "He [met] everyone with a smile."
Ali leaves behind a woman, who worked at the convenience store, and four children – a 22-month-old son, a first-year son, a son who will be a sophomore in high school and a girl who will be a junior.
His two oldest children were at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, when an armed man came in and opened fire, killing 17 students and staff members. Ali's son and daughter were not among those who had been shot.
They now have a future without their father and, says Mustaque, "it's hard for them to accept it."
A spokesman for the office of Sheriff, Joy Oglesby, told NPR that "detectives continue to receive advice and work on the investigation".
Aunt Molly's food store opened Thursday, reported NBC Miami, adding that guests have made a memorial for Ali.
