East Village deli worker shot to death in store dispute, suspect struck with bullet ricochet: eyewitnesses
"The flame of a lone candle could be seen flitting outside of the shuttered Sal's Deli and grocery on Sunday morning, a grim and solemn reminder of the horrific events that occurred the night prior on 13th Street and Avenue B."
"Hughes was walking his dog when he stumbled on a dispute between the two men that started in the store and spilled out into the street. They started fighting. I'm over here with the dog facing the opposite direction when I hear pop, pop, pop."
"One thing leads to another, and I'm over here while the guy next to me is doing chest compressions on, and he was DOA at the hospital, Hughes told amNewYork. He died over a petty argument."
