Oklahoma City Police are on the search for a masked suspect who they said robbed a metro liquor store with a gun.
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) -- Oklahoma City Police are on the search for a masked suspect who they said robbed a metro liquor store with a gun.
However, the suspect made a mistake and let the camera capture his face after he pulled down his medical mask.
OKCPD said the encounter happened on January 10 at The Liquor Bin near NW 10th and Penn. That's when officers said the masked man walked in demanding money.
"All that f****** money," said the suspect to the clerk in the security footage.
According to the police report, the suspect "had his finger on the trigger the entire time."
"The suspect's highly agitated. He's pointing the gun around, including at the clerk," said MSgt. Gary Knight, with OKCPD.
The suspect grabbed a bottle of liquor, shoved cash from the register in his pocket, and hopped over the counter, while still pointing the gun. He wasn't satisfied and wanted one more thing.
"Your phone, too. I'm going to shoot you right now," said the suspect to the clerk.
"Phone?" said the clerk.
"Your phone! I'm not stupid!" said the suspect.
"He kept telling them, 'I don't have a phone.' That's when you see the suspect jump back over the counter and and start trying to check his pockets and pushing him up against the bottles of alcohol," said Knight.
At one point, the suspect struck the clerk with his hand. The police report said it left a mark.
"I'll kill you right here, bro," the suspect told the clerk.
The suspect eventually left.
Investigators said the clerk didn't call 911 until 15 minutes after the hold up. He told officers he wanted to clean up, call his boss, then call police.
Thankfully, the camera captured brief moments when the suspect pulled his mask down to reveal his face.
"He also had some very distinctive shoes, some bright blue shoes on," said Knight.
News 4 went to the liquor store, however the clerk did not want to talk on camera.
"He also had some very distinctive shoes, some bright blue shoes on," said Knight.
Officers hope someone recognizes him soon and calls Crime Stoppers at 405-235-7300.
