Cincinnati police released surveillance video last week showing two people walking away from City Bird restaurant in Fountain Square.

A person with his face blurred turns around first and points. Then, a man in a white shirt, believed to be Ferguson, turns around, pulls out a gun and starts shooting.

At the time of the shooting, prosecutors said he was already on probation for a prior felonious assault conviction from earlier this year.

Ferguson’s attorney claims that Ferguson did not initiate the conflict and that someone was pointing a gun at him.

Court records show Ferguson is being held on two bonds, one for a seperate shooting, totaling $2.6 million.
