The video from inside a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) train shows two of the four suspects chatting and befriending the victim, who is standing and passing around a cellphone with them. One of the suspects appears to be smoking a cigarette or a joint and can be seen handing it to another person inside the subway car.

Another video then shows all four migrants and the victim congregating inside the cab before one of the migrants – wearing a red baseball cap backward – lunges for the victim, grabs him from behind and puts him in a chokehold.

Three of the migrant suspects were arrested for shoplifting about a month prior to the train attack.

The Venezuelan migrants had only been in the U.S. for a few months before the attack, while one had been in the country for just a month.
