Surveillance footage shows Tse walking down 23rd Place when a car pulls up and someone starts shooting from inside. The car then stops, the driver gets out and appears to fire more shots at the victim, who by then is already lying on the sidewalk.
Deenihan said Joyner pulled up in a blue car and fired a volley of shots. That first round did not hit Tse, but the victim was visibly startled, Deenihan said.
The gunman then fired a second volley of shots while still in the car, and this time, Tse was struck and he fell, Deenhian said. The gunman then got out of the car, walked up to the sidewalk, stood over Tse, and fired several more rounds \u2013 killing him, Deenihan said.
Joyner then casually got back into his car and drove away, Deenihan said.
Chicago Police Deering (9th) District Cmdr. Don Jerome said the Chinatown Community Watch called him on his cellphone within minutes. Jerome spoke to a sergeant who was on the scene and got information \u2013 and then went to the district strategic support center to gather intelligence.
Joyner was spotted driving the car soon afterward on the Kennedy Expressway at Jackson Boulevard, where police pulled him over and apprehended him.
Police found a gun with an extended magazine in the car Joyner was driving, and gunshot residue was also later found on Joyner\u2019s hands, Deenihan said. Upon being apprehended, Joyner immediately invoked his right to remain silent \u2013 but detectives worked with the Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s office to gather evidence and bring charges swiftly.
Joyner has four prior arrests, including two on gun charges \u2013 one of which resulted in a guilty plea, Deenihan said.
Had Joyner not been apprehended so fast, others could have been in danger, Deenihan said.
Police are also looking into a series of random shootings on the city\u2019s North Side over the last few days to see if they are connected.
Brown said Tse came to the U.S. with a few dollars in his pocked and went on to achieve the American dream \u2013 and was a husband, father, grandfather, man of his community, and Chicagoan.
\u201cAnd yesterday, his life was tragically ended in broad daylight in the Chinatown neighborhood by Joyner,\u201d Brown said.
CBS 2\u2019s Jackie Kostek spoke with a daughter of Tse\u2019s, who said the family is too distraught to talk about him right now. But Kostek also spoke to neighbors and friends.
They say Tse enjoyed his retirement and often took walks to get a cup of coffee or a newspaper, and he loved to play ping-pong. Friends said he was supposed to play with them on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Surveillance footage posted to Twitter shows the Tse walking down 23rd Place when a car pulls up and someone starts shooting from inside. The car then stops, the driver gets out and appears to fire more shots at the victim, who by then is already lying on the sidewalk.
\u201cI feel very sad,\u201d said Tony Wong. \u201cI can\u2019t sleep too.\u201d
For 30 years, Wong has looked across the ping-pong table at his friend.
\u201cHe\u2019s very friendly,\u201d Wong said. \u201cHe loves to make friends with everybody.\u201d
Wong said Tse was friendly, competitive, and good at the game he loved. He played ping-pong up to four times a week with friends \u2013 many also retired \u2013 inside the Chinese Community Center on 22nd Place.
Friends of Woom Sing Tse, the 71 year old shot and killed in Chinatown yesterday, say he loved playing ping pong and did so several days a week at a community center. His wife called the center yesterday asking if he was there. He hadn\u2019t made it. They are heartbroken. @cbschicago<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/qPAhpqD2yG<\/a>

The group starts playing early afternoon around 12:30 p.m. But on Tuesday, Tse didn\u2019t make it.
\u201cSomebody came up here told us that his wife called to look for him here,\u201d Wong said. \u201cBut he didn\u2019t come over here.\u201d
For now, the Chinatown community is once again rocked by senseless violence. Wong said that fear is felt especially among seniors.
\u201cChinatown is not a safe place now. A lot of people robbing people and breaking into houses,\u201d Wong said. \u201cWe feel pretty scared too.\u201d
Tse\u2019s family will hold a prayer vigil at 23rd Street and Princeton Avenue Friday night at 7 p.m. Tse\u2019s two daughters and son are expected to attend.<\/p>\n
