Authorities were called to the scene at approximately 1:22 a.m. after a store clerk reported being robbed at gunpoint.
The clerk described the assailants as two individuals displaying a silver handgun during the incident.
According to the clerk’s description, suspect one is of athletic build, dark skin tone, and around 5 feet 8 inches tall.
He was wearing black sneakers, black jogger-style pants with a possible Nike logo, a black long-sleeve t-shirt, black gloves, and a white t-shirt wrapped around his face as a mask.
He was seen carrying a silver, semi-automatic handgun in his right hand.
The second suspect is described as shorter and thinner than the first, with a dark skin tone.
He was wearing black sneakers, black baggy pants, a black zip windbreaker-style jacket with the hood up, a lighter-colored undershirt, and a black t-shirt used as a mask.
