My theory was that he was directly across the street from the gas station at the end of the large parking lot.

The gas pump islands are perpendicular to the main road so as the cabbie is pumping gas, he is standing between the car and the pump. He was shot in the chest. The pumps are head high and the the car blocks the other direction. That means the shot came from the direction of the parking lot. Because the parking lot sits about 10 feet above the gas station grade, he couldn't stray too far from the road before he loses his line of site to the gas pumps.

I heard that the police were searching the rooftop of the Giant Food store (large dark gray roof top at the bottom center) and if he wasn't near the end of the parking lot that would be the only other place he could get that shot off from. I have a hard time believing that he could get on the roof and off without being noticed and then get up the street to Leisure World and set up his next shot 25 minutes later. Anythings possible I guess...

Just had a thought. Wasn't there a witness at the gas station that saw the white truck leaving? If so, then he probably didn't do it from the roof, because he would have to exit from the back of the building. If the truck is parked behind in the alley, then the witness at the gas station wouldn't see the truck leaving.

There are a lot of those white trucks, but if they saw one leaving quickly, chances are the shooter was in a nearby parking lot.

Actually, some things are impossible and that is why we need to analyze everything we hear on the news. Last year when the shark frenzy was rampant, I monitored one of our local news babes saying a man in Australia had been bitten by a 150 shark and she said it twice. I fired off an email and got a reply from her the next day which apologized to me individually but they never corrected the story. In this era of "breaking news" they will get it wrong and keep on rollin'.
