CONCOURSE, Bronx (PIX11) — Police are looking for a gunman who they say shot a man in the chest late Monday night in the Bronx and took off with cash from a deli register.
The incident happened at around 12:16 a.m. at the 149 Grill and Deli at 143 East 149th Street.
Police say a man in a hoodie walked into the store, pulled out a gun, and started shooting immediately at a man.
Surveillance video shows the suspect taking what appears to be a man’s backpack before dropping it to the ground and going behind the counter. He then appears to continue firing his gun before taking money from the register, grabbing a bag out of the backpack, and running off.
Police say the victim, a 33-year-old man, was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest.
