A Brooklyn deli worker named Diego Sandoval Nava was murdered in an unprovoked attack related to cigarette sales. The attack occurred at a bodega on Hegeman Ave. where the suspect initially entered screaming and behaving erratically. After leaving, the suspect returned to confront Sandoval Nava, who was attempting to protect the store's goods. Despite being rushed to Brookdale Hospital, Sandoval Nava succumbed to his injuries. Authorities continue the investigation, with no arrests made and a strong public reaction questioning the motive behind the violent act.
According to New York City police, officers were called to a bodega located at 684 Hegeman Ave. in East New York around 3 p.m. Friday. When officers arrived, they found 33-year-old Diego Sandoval Nava suffering from multiple stab wounds to his stomach.
Sandoval Nava was taken to Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, where he later died, police said. According to an ABC7 report, when the suspect first entered the store, he was screaming and acting erratically.
How could someone take someone's life over loosies, over cigarettes? Fernando Mateo of United Bodegas of America told ABC7. We don't understand how you can take someone's life, a young man's life, over cigarettes.
Police said no arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
