Update: Top Nails Shooter Caught on Camera

It has been three days since an Asian man in his mid-20s entered salon on Pleasant Street, demanded his money and then shot the salon owner, Henry Vo in front of customers and Vo's own wife and daughter.

Police arrived on the scene just minutes after the noon shooting and began interviewing eyewitnesses, according to police reports. Police also called in a ballistics expert to investigate the bullet and casing left behind at the scene. 

Chief Richard Pierce said they could not yet provide an update on the shooter because "the incident is still being actively investigated," but sources say the shooter, wearing a sweatshirt, jeans and a white beanie, can be seen on surveillance footage from Rockland Trust bank and Stop & Shop. 

"The bank's surveillance camera offers a fish-eyed view of the man right here," said Gary Lavoie, owner of Footworks, pointing to the front entrance of Top Nails. "Then he ran to Stop & Shop, which has four cameras."

Kim Lee, Henry's wife of 10 years said she did not recognize the shooter. "I never saw him," she said shaking her head.  Lavoie, however, said Vo recognized some thing about the shooter. 

"Henry thought he was from Southern Vietnam because of his features," Lavoie said.

Vo and his family were shaken up by the ordeal, but say they are moving on with support from their loyal customers, friends and neighbors. 

"I feel very, very good," Lee said. "Henry is getting better he still has a lot of pain and when he moves blood comes from his arm," Lee said. "At that time (just after the shooting) I was angry and said 'why, why this happen to us."

"He was very lucky because the bullet went through his arm and not any bones and just grazed his side," Lavoie said of Vo. 

Lee and Vo's six-year-old daughter and several customers were in the shop when the shooter came in, demanded his money from the store owner and then shot Vo. 

"She saw everything," Lee said. "She screamed a lot and cried."

Support from the couple's customers has made the ordeal easier to deal with, according to Lee. 

"Look, they send us flowers and call," she said as she continued to do the nails of a long-time customer.  

"Our dear Henry," said the North Providence, RI resident who would only identify herself as Janice. "They are hard-working people and all of us customers are very loyal to them."

Lee and Vo are hopeful that police will find the shooter. Next door at Footworks, the owners are taking extra precautions. 

"We are beefing up security and we plan to put in our own surveillance," Lavoie said. "I'm hopeful that--because of the nature of it being a well, thought-out plan, police can catch the guy and figure out the motive for the shooting."
