7. That's what the assailants are saying, but that's not what occurred in the video

It looks like the man was putting his phone back in his pocket when the gun, which was presumably in his pocket, went off (0:41 in the video).

If the woman dropped her purse on the floor, then why was she holding it on her lap right after the shot occurred (0:49 in the video). She hadn't reached down to the floor after the shot, so it hadn't really fallen to the floor.

My theory is that the man has a record and the woman does not, so she's taking the fall for him.

But anyone who watches the video can see that their story is obviously false.
