As this is a sensitive topic, and I've been forced to remove the footage from Reddit, please put useful updates below. I'll try to compile what I can.

This looks like it may have been BLM on BLM barbarity. Tl;dr - the car lot being protected by armed people is apparently owned by a BLM lowlife. BLM started smashing up cars and they started fighting amongst each other. BLM twitter ofcourse immediately claimed it was caused by "white supremacists".

Tim Pool's morning commentary & analysis:
Reuters reports that the shooter is identified as 17 year old Kyle Rittenhouse, who has been charged with First Degree Intentional Homicide by the state of Illinois.
Tim Pool points out that the shooter was arrested as a fugitive. He may not have been arrested by police that night.
Timeline & Map of events:
According to what I've pieced together on Saidit & .Win, this is my personal interpretation of the events...
It seems to me like the shooter was part of an armed group that Elijah Schaffer is calling "Boogaloo Boys" who were helping to support the BLM protests until they got to a gas station. There's a car lot next door to the street. The rioters began burning things in the middle of the street, and someone from the armed group put the fire out. This caused a large argument to ensue. This is where video of the rioter who was shot being belligerent with the armed group takes place. After some amount of time, the rioters then started looting, then burning cars in the neighboring lot.
The initial shooting at the gas station takes place. At some point, the rioter is chasing the shooter who is fleeing. The rioter throws an object of some kind at the rioter while chasing him through the gas station's lot. As the shooter approaches vehicles in the gas station's parking lot, the shooter seems to turn and fire upon the rioter who is continuing to run at him. The armed group, maybe even the shooter, attempt to render aid to the rioter. The rioter is then taken by vehicle to a hospital. Some time passes.
The shooter approaches a police line. It is is not unreasonable to suspect that he is doing this to turn himself into the police. This is when the reprisal attack begins.
At some point the shooter begins running while multiple people are chasing him and attacking him. Either by enemy action, or because he tripped, the shooter falls down. Attacker 1 attempts to drop kick/jump/stomp on the shooter while he's down, and the shooter fires 2 rounds at him. Attacker 1 begins breaking off his attack. It is unknown if Attacker 1 is hit. Attacker 2 then attacks the shooter with a skateboard strike to the head, and tries to
immediately disengagetake the shooter's gun after his attack. The shooter rolls over and fires one round striking Attacker 2 in the chest, the wound is mortal. Attacker 3 begins his attack at this point, he appears to be armed with a pistol and feigning a surrender posture. Attacker 3 then lunges at the shooter to grab the rifle, and the shooter fires one round striking Attacker 3 in the arm causing severe damage and prompting Attacker 3 to disengage.A multiplicity of other gun shots take place around the area, though they do not appear to be fired by, nor at, the original shooter. The original shooter approaches the police line, but apparently does not surrender on scene. The police move a Bearcat up to the site of the shooting and apprehend Attacker 3.
This appears to be the end of the incident.
Part of him disengaging is grabbing the gun and trying to run off with it. The shooter only held onto the gun in this case because he had it on a sling. You can see him holding onto the gun here.
You're right. Good call.
