Two men, Elier Sanchez and Danilxon Alvarez, were charged with attempted murder following a violent robbery at a cellphone store in Queens, where they shot the worker and stole his Rolex. The incident occurred in November, and the victims were hospitalized in stable condition. Both suspects, believed to be migrants from Venezuela, were arrested in different locations. They face multiple charges, including robbery and weapon possession, and have pleaded not guilty. They are currently being held without bail as investigations continue.
During the dust-up, one of the thieves fired multiple rounds at the victim, hitting him in both legs and his torso, cops said.
Sanchez was separately nabbed for shoplifting on Jan. 3 and then connected to the stick-up on Wednesday, while he was still in custody, police said.
The robbers got tangled in a physical fight with the worker just before 7 p.m. on Nov. 8 at the Top in Town Wireless store on Steinway Street.
Both men were also charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, cops said.
