While there were customers inside the 7-Eleven, no one was injured, police said.
The suspect was between 5-foot-10 and 6-feet-tall and of thin build, police said.
Investigators said no one at the scene got a good look at the suspect because he was well covered and donned a mask over his face. However, he was wearing a distinctive red sweatshirt with “AERO” on it and his colorful sneakers appeared to have a Nike swoosh.
