"It was terrifying," said Michael Johnson.

Johnson said he was cooking when the man in the video walked up to the counter and placed an order, all while on the phone.

The video showed that once the worker brought the food, the man already pulled his gun and then fired multiple shots.

"As I turned around I hear boom, boom, boom," said Johnson.

However, deputies said the two argued over the price of the food, which escalated.

"To see someone you know, love, die in your hands, man that's really messed up," said Johnson.

Johnson ran to the store next door and called for help.

"We just live four blocks up the street and it hits close to home, you know?" said Frankie Keen.

The woman who was shot is expected to be OK.
