"The suspect yelled at him about an iPhone. The suspect then displayed the silhouette of gun from underneath his shirt and fired two gunshots towards the victim."

Police described the suspect as a Black man in his 20s, 5 feet 6 inches tall. He was seen wearing dark-colored pants and a red plaid long sleeve shirt. He was driving a dark gray pickup truck. No other details were immediately available.

It's unknown what type of handgun he was carrying, police said.
