In the footage, a young woman that was allegedly the accomplice is seen standing outside the entrance as a female worker opens the door for her.

While the door is ajar, the woman and Banda Ramos, who is holding a gun, suddenly force their way inside.

Banda Ramos is seen struggling with a worker in a blue shirt just as the guard appears and shoots at the man at least three times from close range.

According to local media, Banda Ramos died of his injuries several metres from the shop.

His female accomplice, identified as 22-year-old Diana Belem, who was confirmed as his girlfriend, has been arrested by the police after first being detained by shop staff.

The investigation is ongoing. It was also reported that the pair had a third partner in crime but it is unknown if the third accomplice has been identified and arrested yet.
