A Church's Chicken employee shot Saturday night during an armed robbery died protecting two female co-workers, DeKalb police say.

Investigators on Monday released surveillance captures of the two masked gunmen who entered the restaurant off Flakes Mill Road in Decatur. Police spokesman Jason Gagnon noted that the "look-out man" wore a jacket with the #3 on the sleeve, but otherwise there's little to distinguish the two thieves.

They're wanted in the death of 23-year-old Gary Andrews, who was shot multiple times in a back room of the restaurant around 9 p.m. He died while shielding two female co-workers from the fidgety gunmen as they opened the restaurant's safe.

"[Andrews] was shot point blank," Gagnon told the AJC. He died on the scene.

Gagnon said the surveillance footage didn't reveal any altercation between Andrews and his assailants.
