SAN DIEGO -- San Diego police are looking for a man who robbed a gas station in Mission Valley at gunpoint and an accomplice who served as his lookout Monday night.
  
A masked man pulled a handgun on an employee at the Shell at the corner of Mission Center and Friars roads and demanded cash around 7:10 p.m. Monday, San Diego police Officer Dino Delimitros said. A second man stayed by the door.  
 
The two suspects fled with an undisclosed amount of money and were last seen running toward a nearby Del Taco, Delimitros said.
  
Police described the gunman as Hispanic, roughly 5-foot-8, 190 pounds, wearing a military-style mask and a camouflage jacket. The lookout was described as a Hispanic man, about 5-foot-7, with tattoos on his hands, wearing a large hooded sweatshirt.
