Before the shooting, surveillance video captured Estrada near the couple's home, which he appeared to ransack.
Estrada then followed them through the grocery store and opened fire. He was eventually tackled and restrained by witnesses.

The shooting prompted Smith's to close for more than a week.
Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 25.
