"This does not appear to be a robbery, because it does not appear he tried to take anything," D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham said.
One employee said he couldn't think of anyone who would want to target the victims.
"He gave people work," the worker said about the business owner.
The suspect is a black man, between 5 feet 11 inches and 6 feet 2 inches and 140 pounds. He was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black pants, and was armed with a gun, Newsham says.
Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage indoors and outdoors.
Police initially described the victims differently. This story was updated to reflect the latest information.
