Newly engaged worker shot dead in Bronx deli; suspects in custody

A deli clerk was shot dead Tuesday in the Bronx, police say.

The shooting occurred just before 11:30 a.m. at the intersection of White Plains Road and East 216th Street at Deli Grocery in Williamsbridge.

Police say the 20-year-old victim from Yemen was taken to Montefiore Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

An 18-year-old male suspect fled on foot with a 25-year-old woman, according to authorities, but were quickly taken into custody. The NYPD also recovered a weapon at the scene.

While frightened customers hit the floor, witnesses say the clerk who was working behind the counter at the deli didn't have a chance.
