The video shows three robbers arriving at and leaving the ShopRite supermarket at 3745 Aramingo Avenue, where they held up a bank branch.
Police believe Eric DeShann Floyd, 33, who was arrested late last night after an intensive five-day manhunt, drove the blue Jeep Liberty used in the robbery.
The surveillance video, played for reporters at the Police Administration Building, tracked the Jeep as it first circled the crowded parking lot, then parked with its warning lights blinking in a fire zone in front of the entrance to the ShopRite.
Deputy Police Commissioner William Blackburn identified Floyd and Howard Cain, who was shot and killed by police later that day, as the two men dressed in women's Muslim garb who got out of the front seats. Only the upper portion of their faces and eyes were exposed.
The video shows one of them reaching back into the Jeep for a large box that he places in a shopping cart and wheels into the supermarket. Police believe the box contained the high-powered SKS assault rifle used to kill Liczbinski.
The third robber, wearing a dreadlock wig and sunglasses and identified by police as Levon T. Warner, is seen getting out of the Jeep's backseat.
Video from inside the supermarket tracked the three men entering the bank branch and picked them up again as they left.
Repeatedly during the 16-minute video, Blackburn pointed out how the robber identified as Floyd appeared to be positioning himself with the assault rifle to provide cover and protection.
"You can see how he was positioning that gun," Blackburn said as the video rolled. "He was ready."
At 11:27 a.m., the surveillance camera inside the supermarket picks up the three robbers as they walk out of the bank branch.
The one identified as Floyd is the first to exit. As his two accomplices walk toward the exit, the robber, with his right hand inside the large box, spins the cart in a semicircle as if he is scanning the area. He then turns and pushes the cart through the door.
The surveillance camera in the parking lot then shows the three robbers walking slowly toward the Jeep. The one identified as Floyd puts the box in the backseat and gets behind the wheel. And the Jeep pulls away.
Minutes later, Liczbinski, responding to the reported robbery, stops the Jeep at Almond and Schiller Streets about four blocks from the supermarket and is gunned down.
Shortly after the killing, police captured Warner, 39, who was charged with murder, and killed Cain, 34. They said Cain was clutching the Chinese-made SKS carbine he used to kill the sergeant when police shot him in a showdown in Feltonville.
Police yesterday said they had charged Cain's uncle with carjacking the Jeep.
Mitchell Cain, 49, of the 200 block of North 61st Street, was arrested Sunday after investigators determined he participated in the hijacking Friday in North Philadelphia. Like his nephew, he has a long history of criminal violence, including a 1997 guilty plea for manslaughter for which he served six years in prison.
Mitchell Cain is charged with robbery, carjacking, firearms violations and related offenses.
