Video from the store’s surveillance camera shows one of the armed men grab an employee and lead him behind the counter to the cash register.
The other man, who also had a handgun, stayed near the store’s entrance and stood as a lookout, HPD said.

HPD investigators say both suspects fled in an unknown direction.
The first suspect was described as a Black male standing 6-feet tall, weighing approximately 210 lbs. He was reportedly wearing a dark green hoodie and blue jeans.
The second was described as a Black male, standing 5-feet 10-inches tall, weighing approximately 200 lbs. He was wearing a black pullover and black pants with a gray backpack.
