The NYPD is offering a $10,000 reward in the cold-blooded murder of a young woman working at a Harlem Burger King.

Crime Stoppers announced a $3,500 reward soon after 19-year-old Kristal Bayron-Nieves was killed at the fast-food restaurant at East 116th Street and Lexington Avenue early Sunday.

On Wednesday, the department said it would add $6,500 — for a total of $10,000 — for any information that leads to the arrest and indictment of Bayron-Nieves’ killer.

Billionaire supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis is offering his own reward of $10,000.

Police said the suspect pistol-whipped a male customer and punched a female manager before pointing the gun at Bayron-Nieves.

In video released by cops, the gunman is seen wearing all black with a black mask as he appears to order Bayron-Nieves to the register to get cash.

Bayron-Nieves, who had only been working at the eatery for three weeks, handed over $100 but the crook shot and killed her anyway, her mom told The Post.
