Shortly after 1 a.m. on May 12, officers responded to a shots-fired call outside Downtown Distillery on Central Ave. and Fourth Street.
Officer 1: 'He fell right over here, so there's that casing.'
Officers found a security guard lying in the front door, with a gunshot wound.
Officer 1: They came from upstairs, the actual incident, and all the fight was here, looks like they were a little when they were upstairs.
Officer 1: Which one of you, which one of you has video?
Witnesses told police a group of five, three men and two women, were arguing with the security guard before one of the men, later identified as 23-year-old Isaiah Webb, reached into his pocket and fired a single shot into the security guard's side.
Witness 1: 'I just heard the pop, ran downstairs, and he was already on the ground.'Witness 2: 'It looked like fire was the only thing between him and the gun, the gun came out of nowhere though.'
The security guard was transported to the University of New Mexico Hospital.
Surveillance footage shows the group running away after the shooting, toward Fifth Street, but the suspect made a big mistake leaving something important behind.
Officer 2: 'She said that there was a group of them, this is the credit card.' Officer 1: 'That's the credit card?'
Webb never closed his tab at the bar, and the bartender knew exactly who he was.
Bartender: 'He was wearing a Looney Tunes black t-shirt, worn down, not new.'
The security guard survived the shooting.
Webb pled not guilty to aggravated battery with a deadly weapon last month. He is behind bars until trial.
