CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A new video has been released in connection with the armed robbery that left a business owner dead at a cell phone store in southeast Charlotte on Jan 14.
Police say the newly-released video shows the suspect walking up to the front door of the store and walking in.
Officials say the suspect walked in, pointed his gun at Khalilov and shot him dead inside the store.
Khalilov, according to police, cooperated and did not resist during the armed robbery.

Heard on Fresh Air
Growing up, Bridgett M. Davis' mother booked and banked bets from their home in Detroit. She writes about her experience — and the role of "the numbers" in the black community — in her memoir.
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Before states ran legal lotteries, there was the underground street version, the numbers. Some numbers games were run by organized crime. Some were run by enterprising individuals whose best chance at prosperity was through the underground economy. In 1960s Detroit, at a time when a lot of African-Americans were shut out of job and economic opportunities, Fannie Davis started running her own numbers operation. She did well and raised her five children in a comfortable home that she owned.
Ralph Northam, the Democratic Governor of Virginia, has so far refused to step down after a photo emerged from his 1984 medical school yearbook page showing one person dressed in blackface and another as a member of the Klu Klux Klan.
