Terrifying CCTV captured the moment a masked robber pointed his gun at Burger King workers, moments before killing a 19-year-old girl.
Chilling surveillance footage shows a masked robber pointing his gun at workers on Sunday in an New York City Burger King restaurant — where he killed a 19-year-old new cashier.
The dramatic video, released by cops, caught the thief waving his weapon and aiming it at people behind the counter inside the fast-food eatery at 116th Street and Lexington Ave in Manhattan around 1am — an incident that left the teen dead and him netting $100 ($A139) from the deadly crime, said cops and the victim’s family, the New York Post reports.
Police said the suspect pistol-whipped a male customer and punched a female manager before fatally shooting teen Kristal Bayron-Nieves, who had only been working at the restaurant for three weeks, according to her mum.
Bayron-Nieves was shot once in the torso and rushed to Metropolitan Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, police said.
In the video, the gunman is seen wearing all black with a black mask as he appears to order Bayron-Nieves to the register to get cash.
Police said the killer fled the scene after the slaying and is now being sought.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $3500 ($A4875) reward for his capture, police said.
