NEW YORK (CBS) ― Robbed in broad daylight -- on a busy Manhattan sidewalk.
Police were looking Friday night for the gunman who robbed and was thought to have shot a talent manager in Midtown. The victim had just made a hefty withdrawal from a nearby bank.
"My heart is just racing … The black man was dragging the guy with the bag," said limo driver Zafer Incekara, who witnessed the bizarre scene. "And all of a sudden he just started hitting him with something. I didn't see at first but then I saw it was a gun and he shot the guy in the head."
Police, however, said Friday night there was no evidence of shots being fired.
Regardless, Incekara was still stunned by what he witnessed while taking his clients through Midtown. He said he saw two men fighting over a briefcase outside a busy Starbucks on 56th Street between 6th and 7th avenues.
"The way the guy was walking (away), I thought they were shooting a movie or something, you know? It was like normal to everybody," Incekara said. "The guy was just walking."
Police say the victim is 50-year-old Seton Ijams, a talent manager at Columbia Artist Management located just a block away from the shooting scene.
Ijams had just withdrawn more than $100,000 from a Midtown Chase Manhattan Bank when he was jumped for his briefcase.
The suspect is described as a black man about 25-30 years old, 5-foot-9 and wearing a black parka and black pants.
People in the neighborhood couldn't believe the gunman got away on such a crowded street. Medical student Aniket Joglekar was perplexed.
"I was shocked, yeah, I mean I'm from California, from out of town and I'm just shocked to see this happen right in front of our class," Joglekar said. "It's pretty shocking."
