Might be Justin Bieber. He's a young male (more or less male) 5' 9" 150 pounds, and sometimes has dark hair.

A man who was shot this morning while he was trying to rob a Waffle House in North Charleston has died from his injuries, authorities said.
The robber was shot by a customer, who thwarted the early-morning robbery attempt, police said.
“He saved us, that’s what he did,” a Waffle House employee told The Post and Courier.
Shortly after 5 a.m., North Charleston police responded to reports of an armed robbery and shots fired at the Waffle House at 6907 Dorchester Road. When officers arrived, they found the suspect had been shot by a customer who had intervened.
The suspect was rushed to Medical University Hospital, where he later died, police spokeswoman Angela Johnson said. Ongoing efforts by the Charleston County Coroner’s Office and the North Charleston Police Department to identify the suspect have been unsuccessful, Johnson said.
He is described as a young male with dark hair, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and 150 pounds. Johnson said the man’s race, though known to investigators, was being withheld.
“At this time, we are unsure how others would identify the suspect,” Johnson said. “We don’t want to provide information that may discourage potential tips.
Anyone who may be able to provide information about his identity is asked to call the Coroner’s Office at 843-746-4030.
According to Johnson, the customer who shot the suspect had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. She said police are not pressing charges against him at this time.
“It’s says something about firearms,” said a uniformed officer at the scene, “for good people with firearms being in the right hands.” The officer said he was not authorized to speak for the department.
Waffle House employees spent Saturday morning sweeping shards of broken glass in the doorway, preparing for a noontime re-opening. Division manager Brandon Rogers said nothing was stolen from the restaurant. This also was the first incident he could recall at the Dorchester Road Waffle House since it opened a year ago.
“No one was hurt, which is the best part,” Rogers said. “No one was injured – besides the suspect.”
Recorded and transcribed from the Hot Tip line-—
“Thass prolly my boy James Lewis. He be allus messin’ where he shun’t be messin’. I useta hafta tell him, “James Lewis! Get away fum dat wheel-barruh! You knows you doesn’t know nothin’ ‘bout machinery!””
According to another poster on an earlier thread about this, Waffle House does it like Kroger: Their stores follow the gun laws in the states that they operate.

Exactly.
It sounds like they are trying to get an ID on the guy. The best way to do that is to give a description so his family can come and claim his body. Idiots.
Are you trying to be funny? I don’t find what you posted funny at all.
You’d have to put an AK to my head to get me into that metrosexual, overpriced, fruit loving, left wing establishment.
but you’re right. no guns and lots of money.
They may be posted no gun but you are a dumb robber to think that Wafgle House’s clientele take that posting seriously.
The one in my hometown is redneck central and everyone carries and eats at Waffle House. Of course the robbers would also be just as mistaken to think our church people dont carry while in church because they obey the sate law banning carrying in a church.
Think that confirms my guess.
Moral of story....
People who hang at Waffle Houses may well be armed. I doubt he was the only one.
I understand many unclaimed corpses are turned over to medical schools for first year student dissection.
The Beib, I thought was a vegetarian. Waffle house bacon is offensive to him.
“At this time, we are unsure how others would identify the suspect,” Johnson said. “We don’t want to provide information that may discourage potential tips.
The suspect may be a halfer and could be identified as either?
By not providing that information, they’ve discouraged tips.
No sense...........
There should be reporters camped out at the Waffle House that kicked the soldier out. Surely, that manager has a brilliant comment.
In fact its sounds very racist to me. Your comment is not appreciated.
So, the dead victim is black and the perp who shot him is white? Was prolly shot in the back with his hands up. /s
In South Carolina, robbers get bullets with their waffles.
“Waffle House employees spent Saturday morning sweeping shards of broken glass in the doorway, preparing for a noontime re-opening...”
Would it be exceptionally cold to sue his family for those five hours of lost business?
And so it goes.
Another poor young innocent black youth dies just trying to earn a living. Probably just trying to get money to feed his chillans and baby mommas.
Would that be a motive to rob them?
“described as a young male with dark hair, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and 150 pounds”
...and they still cannot figure out his race, even while he lays there on the table? Perhaps they need to do a DNA test.
