A clerk working the late-night shift at an Upper East Side deli was gunned down Friday night by a robber law enforcement officials believe held up a Bronx shop less than an hour later.
The man suspected of hitting up the two stores entered the first on East 81st Street and Third Avenue around 11:30 p.m., dressed in white painter's coveralls, senior law enforcement officials said.
A customer inside Dana Deli at the time told police he was instructed to get on the floor and turnout his pockets before the gunman turned his attention to the deli clerk, the officials said. That's when the suspect allegedly first struck the worker in the head with the butt of the gun. Officials said the customer fled when the gunman was focused on the clerk, and heard a gunshot after running out the front of the store. Moments later he saw the suspect exit and climb onto a moped before driving off.The customer walked back into the deli and saw the clerk lying behind the counter, bleeding out from a gunshot wound to his head.The shooter's late-night crime did not stop there, officials said.
