David Heredia, 22, was charged with armed robbery with a deadly weapon for the March 7 incident at the store located at 605 West 29th Street, an arrest report said.
Surveillance footage showed the suspect, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, approaching the cashier who was cleaning the place. Holding a firearm, he demanded money and a second victim was forced to give him the cash. The suspect also took a cell phone and later left the store.
