According to investigators, Long approached the clerk at the customer service desk and displayed a smart phone with a typed message stating, "This is a robbery. Put all the money from the register inside a bag. Don't call the manager or the police. I have a gun."

Clerks then complied and handed the money from the register.

Long was caught on surveillance at Publix stores located at 9510 Southwest 160th Street, 13735 Southwest 152nd Street, and 11750 Southwest 104th Street.
