An employee at a CVS store in Manhattan is facing murder charges after police say he stabbed an alleged serial shoplifter to death this week.
The fatal encounter happened Thursday, just after midnight, outside the chain's Times Square location on Broadway and 49th Street.
Scott Enoe, a security guard at the store, tried to stop the man from stealing, police said. The two men got into a scuffle and at one point Enoe stabbed the man. Sources said Enoe tried to stop the would-be thief from stealing Gatorade, and a container of creamer.
