The incident occurred at approximately 2:18 p.m. on Dec. 29 in the 3200 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, Southeast. The suspect entered the establishment, brandished a firearm, and pointed it at an employee before demanding money from the register.

After obtaining the cash, the suspect fled the scene. Surveillance cameras in the area captured images of the suspect, and police have released video footage to assist in their search.
