A teen girl was gunned down and killed during a robbery while working her shift at a Harlem Burger King - with the killer making off with only $100.
Kristal Bayron-Nieves, 19, was working as a cashier at the Burger King at 116th Street and Lexington Avenue in East Harlem around early Sunday morning when an armed robber entered the restaurant at around 1am.
The gunman pistol-whipped a male customer before punching a female manager in the face.
Bayron-Nieves, who just started the job three weeks ago, gave the robber $100 cash from the drawer, an eyewitness said, according to her mother.
The criminal turned to leave, but turned around again and shot Bayron-Nieves in the torso, according to the New York Post.
The teen was transported to nearby Metropolitan Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
'She didn't deserve to be mowed down while working at a Burger King,' a police source said.
*** Her mother went on to say she felt particularly torn over her daughter's death after convincing her to continue going to work despite the teen's concerns.
'Kristal said Friday, 'I don't want to go. I'm scared,'' Nieves said.
'I say, 'You have to go and be responsible.' At 10 pm I wake her up to go and tell her, 'You have to go. You have to be responsible. You have to get a better life.'' *** The robber, who has yet to be identified or apprehended, was described as a slim male who was wearing dark clothes and a black mask, according to police.
Authorities have since released surveillance video footage of the man wanted in the teen's death. ***

Sick criminals....
Sounds like “clothes make the man” and they were denied them by American systemic racism (short of getting a job and saving their salary).
Sad story.
Ah, what are you talking about..”blame the victim”
I was wandering if the perp was an ex-boy friend. He’s obviously a idiot. He didn’t have to shoot her.
And why did he pistol whip the manager? Seemed kind of personal.
It’s possible he’s just some moron wacked out on drugs and he did what he did.
Not sure how I’m blaming the victim?
I thought i heard he was turning his life around... he planned on going to college in the fall... i wonder what happened...
"The perps weren't "homeless people.""
They don’t mention the race of the murderer, but the stills from the video make it very clear that it was a white supremacist wearing black face under his ski mask. /s
Notice how the detailed description, which indicates the shade of the clothes and the mask, deliberately and intentionally omitted the shade of the suspect.
This is particularly sad because the girl was doing the right thing, working at a JOB! The street savage who shot her just made it more difficult for people who actually go out to work to continue.
The city will build a monument to him.
“ Ex boyfriend or employee?”

You’re really asking that? It’s, with near certainty, the standard black-on-white hate murder (IMHO, of course).
Most police sadly are loyal only to their pensions.
She wasn’t black..
This is just horrible!
In the liberal world, if you ain’t black, you’re white.
Murder’s only a misdemeanor in NYC now isn’t it?
Politcians and DA’s in these crime ridden cities better start watching their backs just like cops on the street have to do.
“She didn’t deserve to be mowed down while working at a Burger King” a police source said.
Really ? Will someone please fire the Sherlock made that stupid statement. Is there some location where one WOULD deserve to be murdered ? How nice of the new Mayor to visit the scene of the murder. Did he help mop up ?
Surname sounds Spanish or Portuguese.
some FReeper will say the same thing- not his fault, things have been tough for black people.
