... Prendergast told detectives the robber had been in the store earlier Monday ...

The man returned in the early afternoon hours ...

Moments later, a man with a black mask over his head stumbled out of the store and collapsed in the sidewalk.

Maybe it's just sloppy reporting, but wouldn't it be a little difficult to recognize the robber as a customer from earlier in the day when it's reported that he had on a mask?

Anyway, good shooting!

Not if you recognized the clothes he was wearing, his height, possibly his smell, etc. and eventually his FACE when the mask was removed for CPR.

True
The man returned in the early afternoon hours, looking around while he waited for other people to leave the store. Once the robber and Prendergast were alone, the robber approached the store owner and displayed a semiautomatic handgun, Owen said.

He must have cover his face after every everyone left.......
