Officials say Smith-Johnson pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded everything he had.
When the victim refused, Smith-Johnson shot at the victim, forcing him to take cover, which caused the 30-year-old suspect to shoot at him four additional times before getting arrested a short time after fleeing on foot.
Smith-Johnson bond was set at $1,500,000, and upon his release, he must wear a steel cuff tether, be on house arrest, receive a mental health assessment, and refrain from alcohol and drugs.
