Beller's death left employees shaken and prompted police to issue a higher-than-normal reward.

Beller and other employees were closing the eatery when three masked men came inside, according to witnesses and police. The employees were tied up with electrical tape, but Beller was forced into an office upstairs. She opened the safe, police said, then was shot in the right shoulder.
