HARLEM, NY — Police asked for help this week identifying a man accused of shooting four people outside a Harlem deli last month.
The shooting happened around 10:16 p.m. on Nov. 15, as the four victims, all men in their twenties, were standing outside the 141 Grocery bodega on the corner of West 141st Street and Lenox Avenue.
Video shared by police shows an unidentified man approaching from the corner and firing shots at the group as they stand outside the deli entrance. Two of the men run for cover, while two others collapse in front of the store.
