Police said the victim was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. ZinniaDee_TV reports.
The 66-year-old man was shot outside the deli and was not the gunman's intended target, according to the police.
"It's sad. I mean, I'm out here right now getting breakfast. It could be any of us," Cesar Nau said. The NYPD said officer responded just after 7 p.m. Tuesday to a call of a person shot at 162nd Street and Broadway. When they arrived, they found the victim Reda Girgis with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to Metropolitan Hospital in East Harlem where he was pronounced dead. Residents said the victim, who lived just steps away, was the father of the deli owner. There's no description of the suspect, but police say the shots were fired out of a grey Audi toward the deli.
"This store is in a dangerous spot. Not the first time, it's a couple of times already something has happened with guns," Washington Heights resident Jose Rodriguez said. Police are still searching for the suspect.
