Video, More Details on "Honeybee" Killer

We're learning more about "honeybee" killer Gary Amaya, who was killed trying to rob an Orland Park tanning salon over the weekend.

Surveillance video has surfaced of the actual robbery (embedded below). As you can see, Amaya wasn't being the best forward thinker in this robbery, asking the tanning salon employee to tie herself up, which you can see she struggled with. Later, Jason McDaniel, the salon customer who fatally shot Amaya after a struggle for his revolver, walks in, well, you can see the rest.

Investigators also found a purse belonging to a prostitute in Amaya's truck. The hooker said that Amaya tried to handcuff her and fired a shot at her when she fled his truck.
