Inside the store were a manager, two employees, five customers and a baby in a stroller.
A quick-thinking employee hit a panic button, and two female cops in a patrol car rolled up and met a male officer on foot before the unsuspecting perps knew what happened.
They flanked the door and yelled for the suspects to come out with their hands in the air.
The first robber through the door complied. As the cops ordered him to the ground, Wyatt rushed out, pointing a .32-caliber revolver at them.
He crouched behind his hedge-fund boss' Mercedes SUV and squeezed off three shots, killing Wyatt.
Three unidentified people were taken to New York Hospital with minor injuries.
Cops recovered Wyatt's gun and said he may be linked to two similar robberies in East Harlem and two more in The Bronx.
His accomplice was described as a light-skinned black or Hispanic male, about 5-foot-10 to 6-foot tall and wearing a black hoodie with a red lining.
Wyatt belonged to a Bloods gang crew called "All About Money," and went by the street name "Booga."
He was sought for non-fatally firing six bullets into a 19-year-old in Sandy Springs, Ga. last April, and for a May 2010 shooting in New York.
Barnes — a driver for Philippe Laffont — is retired from Brooklyn South's gang division in 2005.
He began his NYPD career in Red Hook's 76th Precinct in 1984. He then served as a sergeant in Canarsie's 69th Precinct before he was elevated to lieutenant.
He is married with two teenage children.
"I'm just happy to be home with my family," he said outside his Staten Island residence.
