[brief] On April 15, 2017, [...], accompanied by his wife [...] and their young sons, went to a restaurant to pick up take-out food.  [...] parked in the rear parking lot of the restaurant shortly after midnight, and remained in the car with the children, with the engine running and the headlights on, while Jose ran into the restaurant to place the order.  As Jose walked toward the restaurant, a man, who Jose identified at trial as defendant, approached him in the entryway and asked him for a cigarette.  Jose testified that although there was a “low level” of lighting, he could see defendant's face.  He described defendant as a short, black man with a beard, who was wearing blue jeans and a blue baseball-style jacket with “letters” on it.  Jose told defendant that he did not smoke and continued into the restaurant.  *2  After placing the order, Jose returned to the car and stood by the open driver's side car window, talking to [...].  [...] noticed a man, who she identified for the first time at trial as defendant, “walking around the parking lot,” but he did not enter the restaurant.  When Jose re-entered the restaurant, [...] saw defendant standing, facing the door to the restaurant.  She described defendant at trial as a short, African American male, who was wearing a dark navy blue jacket with white lettering, which reminded her of a Yankees jacket.  A short time later, Jose walked out of the restaurant and then felt “someone's presence” behind him.  Defendant then pointed a black, semi-automatic handgun at Jose's head, told him to walk slowly, and pushed him toward the darkest part of the parking lot.  While standing “face to face,” Jose told defendant that he did not want any problems, explained that his family was nearby, and tried to push the gun away.  Defendant asked Jose whether he “believe[d]” he “was serious,” and then pulled the trigger and fired a shot towards Jose's feet.  Jose was not sure whether defendant “was trying to shoot at [him] or whether [defendant] was frightened,” but insisted that he “did shoot [the gun]. ”  Jose told defendant to “calm down,” and placed his brown leather wallet, which he said contained $400 in cash, on the roof of a car.  Defendant then told Jose to turn around.  Jose turned toward the ground and bent over because he believed defendant was going to shoot him, but he then saw out of the corner of his eye that defendant was walking away.  During the encounter, [...] heard Jose yell, “Please stop my wife's right over there. ”  She also heard a “popping [noise] like firecrackers,” which she assumed was a gun, and then saw defendant walk by the driver's side of her car.  As defendant walked in front of her headlights, [...] saw him pull on a black ski mask, with openings for his eyes and mouth, over his head.  Shortly thereafter, Jose returned to the car, “yelling and crying,” and told [...] “to chase after the guy. ”  When [...] refused, Jose grabbed his phone out of the car and ran after defendant.  [...] called 911 and during her call, which was played for the jury, she told the dispatcher that her husband had been robbed in the parking lot of the restaurant, by a short, African American man, wearing a navy blue jacket with white lettering on it and blue jeans.  She said she heard “one pop,” and saw the man pull a black mask over his face as he walked in front of her car.
