New York authorities have arrested the suspect accused of firing a fatal shot at the teenage cashier of a Burger King earlier this week, revealing that the man was a former employee of the same business.
30-year-old Winston Glynn was named as the suspected killer of 19-year-old Kristal Bayron-Nieves thanks to his distinctive earbuds caught hanging out of his pocket on surveillance footage of the Sunday crime.
“Our perpetrator brandishes a firearm. He pistol-whips the manager and one customer, knocking two teeth out of the manager’s mouth. He then goes to the register where he removes approximately $100,” NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.
“The man demands more money from the register drawer. As Ms. Bayron-Nieves is scrambling to open the drawer, she doesn’t have the key. The male fires one shot, striking her and causing her death.”
NYC Mayor Eric Adams described the teen victim’s murder as “personal.”
“For a cold-blooded killer to shoot a 19-year-old child after she complied…we have been saying this over and over again, there’s too many guns on our streets.”
