The NYPD is looking for a pair of crooks who shot a deli customer during a robbery in Brooklyn.
Authorities say that at 9:47 p.m. on Dec. 16, two unknown men entered the 4 Seasons Deli, located at 335 Vernon Avenue, and approached a 27-year-old male customer. The first suspect pulled out a black firearm and demanded the customer’s property.
After a brief struggle, the suspect shot the firearm, striking the customer in his left hip. The first suspect fled the scene on foot while the second suspect fled in a silver or gray Chrysler 300, which was parked in front of the deli.
The victim was taken to NYC Health & Hospitals/Kings County in stable condition.
