Man fatally shot in broad daylight on Brooklyn street
A gunman fatally shot a man standing in front of a Brooklyn bodega Monday afternoon, police said.
Dion Reid, 26, was outside Francena Mini Market at Sterling Place and Buffalo Ave. in Crown Heights when gunfire erupted around 2:10 p.m., police said.
Reid was shot in the ankle and hip, piercing an artery, then ran into the store for help.
Medics rushed him to an area hospital, but he could not be saved.
A neighbor recalled hearing two shots ring out.
“There was a guy cringing back there,” said the witness, who did not want to be named. “I was just leaving. Then that happened and I got out of here.”
The violence marked the second fatal shooting involving a city deli in a 24-hour span.
On Sunday, a 24-year-old man and a 42-year-old man were shot at the Zoom Zoom Deli Grill on White Plains Road near Cranford Ave. in Wakefield, the Bronx, about 11:45 p.m., police said.
The younger man, shot in the torso, did not survive.
There have been no arrests in either shooting.
