The Seattle Police Department has released private surveillance video that showed the killer approaching a vehicle at a parking lot in the 2300 block of South Massachusetts Street on Tuesday night.
The clip shows Greg Taylor, 45, walking across the lot shared by the Urban League Village apartment complex and the Northwest African American Museum, explains Kiro 7.
Sitting inside the blue Toyota Prius were Anais and her 22-year-old friend.
In the video released by the cops, an apartment resident called 911 to say - while gunshots can be heard in the background - "there’s a man outside in the park, Jimi Hendrix Park.
"I think he’s [gunfire sounds] he’s shooting, I see the gun in his hand."
The video shows Taylor threateningly bash the windshield with his gun, while the terrified women were inside.

It then switches to the 911 call made by Anais' pal, despite her own horrific gunshot wounds.
She said: "My friend just got shot, me and my friend just got shot. I don’t know where we are, we just got shot like three times."
When the dispatcher tried to find out their location, her friend replied: "No I don’t know where I am, my friend is dying.
"She got shot in the face, please come, please come."
After working out the women's location, a Seattle Fire staffer spoke to the injured woman.
She added: "They’re shooting, come now, please! We just got shot. I’m going to die, we’re going to die!"
When asked how many people had been shot, she replied: "Two, please come now. My friend is dying."
Cops arrived within minutes, where they were confronted by the killer, who walked towards them, raised his firearm and fired at them, says the SPD.

SPD has also released body cam video of their arrival at the crime scene.
“He just fired a shot,” one officer can be heard saying, while a second adds, "same dude is firing" as more gunfire rings out.
When Taylor goes towards the cops, they order him to “drop the gun! Put your hands up and drop the gun, Seattle Police", as he aimed his weapon at them.
The department said that officers returned fire, striking the man - killing him.
Some of the officers began providing aid to the dying man, while others searched the parking lot for his victims.
After initial first aid was given to the women at the parking lot, medics transported Taylor's victims to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

But Anais died on the way there, the cops said.
After an investigation, the Seattle Police Department confirmed on Thursday that "there is no connection between the victims and the suspect", and that it was a random shooting.
Anais' distraught family paid tribute to the dead woman as "a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, and cousin.
"She was a young college student who aspired to be a veterinarian. She lived life to the fullest and always had a big smile on her face.
"She has no connection with the suspect and any information otherwise is 100 per cent inaccurate.
"Please let our family mourn and don't spread false information or rumors.
There will be a candle light vigil tonight at Decatur High School in Federal Way."
Coast Property Management, which runs the apartments, told Kiro 7 that Taylor had been living there.
