The 911 call that brought police to a Baton Rouge convenience store Tuesday came from a homeless man, according to a senior law enforcement official.
The homeless man had approached Alton Sterling, repeatedly asking him for money, the official said.
Sterling showed his gun and the homeless man called police, according to the official.
Sterling was later shot and killed by police at the scene.
The incident was captured on video by two bystanders.
