Dominic Reid appeals from his armed robbery conviction. We find no merit in his claim that insufficient evidence supports his conviction and affirm. On appeal, we must view the evidence “in the light most favorable to the verdict and the appellant no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence; moreover, on appeal this court determines evidence sufficiency and does not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility.” Citation and punctuation omitted. Williams v. State , 217 Ga. App. 636, 638 3 458 SE2d 671 1995. So viewed, the evidence shows that a masked man robbed a grocery store at closing time. The man, who was not wearing gloves, punched several keys on the cash register until the drawer opened. After taking money from the cash register, the man ran out of the store “toward Second Street.”

A witness who lived on Second Street testified that she almost hit a man running behind her car as she was backing out of her driveway around the time of the robbery. Another resident of Second Street testified that he also saw a man running across his yard around the time of the robbery. A few moments later, a small black car with a missing hubcap “turned around in front of the house, stopped in the road, sat there a few seconds and left.”
