According to court documents, two suspects – Batiz and 18-year-old Teony Juarez – were involved in Tuesday night's armed robbery at the store in New Orleans East.
Video shows the man identified as Juarez wearing a black ski mask. Batiz is seen pointing a gun at a clerk working the cellphone counter, and then stuffing cash and other items in his pockets.
As the suspects exited the store, the clerk at the phone counter pulled out a gun and opened fire. A bullet struck Batiz in the abdomen, causing him to collapse.
Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams did not want to discuss specifics about the case. But he told WWL Radio, "Once somebody puts a gun in your face, the rules change."
"It's painfully obvious to anyone who saw that video what those two people were doing in that store and that shop owner did not ask for that exchange," Williams said.
