The way they just pointed their guns at him and fired one shot after another. They made a conscious decision that he would die.

It may be AI enhanced, it may not be. Do you have some magic potion that tells you it's AI?

The main thing is that this is shot from the same POV as the Lady in Pink. Her footage wasn't anywhere near this sharp. It *looks* like a photo taken with a professional rig, but there was no photographer with a rig that could shoot this standing with her. It's simply a still from her footage that someone ran through an AI enhancer, which fills in details that don't exist -- like turning the kneeling guy's head into a hand with a wedding ring.

I see a head with a woolen cap. The point is that we really don't know one way or the other. Until there is a proper investigation and photos can be authenticated we can only guess. Any iphone that close is easily capable of taking a very clear photo and there was at least one other woman in that direction with her camera out.
