Surveillance video shows Mr. Kiherile alone and pumping gas a Chevron station at 2102 North Main about 10:50 p.m. on April 6. It is believed he was shot about 20 minutes later (11:08 p.m.) and left at the Bigelow address. On April 7, HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting call at the above address and found Kiherile with a gunshot wound, lying in the street. He was then transported by HFD paramedics to the hospital.

On April 7, video shows the BMW being driven into the Villas on the Greens Apartments at 9603 Homestead Road. It was subsequently reported to police as being suspicious and recovered on April 12.
