During the robbery, the suspect fired his gun into the floor before leaving the store with an undisclosed amount of money. He was seen getting into a black sedan, possibly a Toyota, which was driven by a black female, the sheriff’s office said.
Another black woman (in the second photo above) was observed inside the store during the robbery and was possibly acting as a lookout, the sheriff’s office said. She left the store immediately after the robbery in another black car.
