During the incident, two victims were violently targeted. One of them had his wallet, credit cards, and Nevada ID stolen, while the other sustained severe dental injuries that required a root canal and cap, totaling an estimated $1,200 in damages, the report says.

Key evidence in the case came from surveillance footage saved by the store’s manager, as well as clips uploaded to Instagram. The video evidence shows McCurdy entering the store alongside the primary attacker while recording the unfolding violence on his cell phone.

According to detectives, McCurdy and another co-conspirator who was arrested on May 4 were also captured on camera laughing as the victim was assaulted. McCurdy followed the group into the store’s back office as the assault escalated, continuing to record the violence before fleeing the scene without contacting law enforcement.
