WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY - A Harlem man was charged Saturday in connection with a late-night fish market robbery and shooting that left one bystander fighting for his life last week, authorities said.

While leaving the location, the gunman fired a shot, which struck a 37-year-old victim in the head, police said.
