After about five minutes, the suspect walked out and waited for all the customers to leave. When the store was clear, the man walked to the counter with a bottle of liquor
The owner asked for the man’s ID. When the man reached into his pocket, however, he pulled out a gun instead and demanded the owner’s money, threatening to pistol-whip the owner if he didn’t comply.

Employees from Mezzaluna’s Pizza observed a man who fit the description leave the parking lot in a Ford Explorer alone.
