A 19-year-old Burger King cashier was shot and killed about 12:45 a.m. Sunday during a robbery at the restaurant’s East Harlem location.
ABC7 NY reports that an armed suspect entered the restaurant, demanded money, then allegedly shot 19-year-old Kristal Bayron-Nieves.
She was transported to a hospital for treatment and pronounced dead.
The robbery suspect also allegedly “punched a female manager in the face and pistol whipped a male customer.”
The suspect escaped with an unspecified amount of cash.
