Miami-Dade Police have released surveillance footage in hopes of catching a man they say held up a northwest Miami-Dade store at gunpoint and terrorized frightened employees.
The incident occurred on January 29th just before 9:30 p.m. at a store located at 9320 Northwest 27th Avenue in Miami-Dade.
Police say the man entered the store dressed in a red hoodie. He pulled out a gun and forced the terrified employees to lay on the ground face down.
The suspect tried to forcibly open the cash register but couldn't, so he forced the store's assistant manager to open the register.
The suspect emptied the cash register and took off running headed south on Northwest 27th Avenue, police say.
Police describe the suspect as a black male who appears to be 20 to 30 years old, standing about 5'9" and weighing roughly 160 pounds.
The man appears to have brown eyes, a dark complexion and a muscular build.
