MIAMI (WSVN) - New surveillance video has been released of an armed robbery at an Exxon gas station in Miami.
City of Miami Police officers responded to the scene at the gas station along Northeast 79th Street and Miami Avenue, around 3:20 p.m., on May 6.
The suspect could be seen in the video approaching the entrance to the business and placing a rock by the door to prevent being locked inside.
The video then showed the man approaching a booth at the back of the store where the cash register is located.
Gerale St. Croix, a clerk at the store, said he had two other employees with him at the store.
“I was on my way to close the shift,” he said.
According to police, the man brandished a handgun and demanded the employees in the booth to place money inside of a bag.
“Opened the door and put the gun out. He pointed the gun at me the first time right here. The second time, right here,” said Croix while pointing at his head. “He put me on the ground. He asked me for the money. I said I’ll give it to him, the money. I tried to watch the face, so he told me, ‘I’ll kill you.’”
The man managed to take off with $2,200 in cash.
No injuries were reported.
Police described the man as approximately 23 to 26 years of age and standing at about 6 feet tall. The man was last seen wearing a black hoodie, a white T-shirt, black pants, black sneakers and black gloves.
