Video Captures Thief Pointing Gun Moments Before Fatally Shooting Burger King Cashier
Shocking surveillance footage shows a masked robber pointing his firearm at workers Sunday in an East Harlem Burger King — where he shot and killed a 19-year-old new cashier.
The video, released by authorities, captured the thief waving his gun and aiming it at people working behind the counter inside the fast-food restaurant. The event left the teen dead and him getting away with $100 from the deadly crime, said officers and the victim’s family.

Police announced the suspect pistol-whipped a male customer that was in the store at the time and struck a female manager before fatally shooting teen Kristal Bayron-Nieves, who reportedly is new on the job and only was an employee for three weeks.
Bayron-Nieves was shot once in the torso and taken to Metropolitan Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, police explained.

In the video, the man can be seen wearing all black with a black mask and waving his gun at the cashier. There is no sound to the video, but by his body language, it looks as if he was asking for cash from the register.
Police said the killer left the scene after the killing and is now being investigated.
