The tourist, named locally as millionaire property boss Matthew Charles Gibbard, 50, was gunned down by motorbike-riding thugs in an ambush in Buenos Aires on Saturday morning.
His stepson Stefan Joshua Zone, 28, was shot in the leg after the pair refused to hand over their luggage and tried to fight off the robbers outside the Faena Art Hotel.
CCTV footage shows one of the crooks flying off a motorcycle to tackle one of the Britons to the ground, before the other man, believed to be Mr Gibbard, bravely rushes in to kick an assailant.
There is a ferocious struggle for their bags before shots are fired by an attacker with a pistol.
A man, believed to be Mr Zone, is seen writhing in agony clutching his thigh after the first shot is seen.
Mr Gibbard can be seen attempting to grapple with one of the motorbike-riders before he too is shot and then moves off screen.
According to local media a bullet fatally passed through Mr Gibbard's right armpit and possibly penetrated his lung.
Meanwhile, Mr Zone was rushed to hospital and remains in a serious condition after he was shot in the thigh.
Mr Gibbard was head of retirement homes company Tingdene which has an annual turnover of £20million.
He was married to 52-year-old Suzanne and the family home is in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
Becky Miles, who works at local pub Snooty Fox, sobbed as she told The Sun: 'It's absolutely terrible, they are lovely people. They were regulars in the pub.
'Matt was such a beautiful, beautiful human being and a true gentleman. He did so much for the village and even put the firework display on himself
'They are a very successful family and very popular in the village.'
Three ambulances had scrambled to the scene, with one medic explaining: 'We took him to the Hospital Argerich, his condition is serious, he has serious injuries because he has had bloodshed.'
