The deadly episode unfolded inside the Plug Smoke Shop, a CBD and THC dispensary at 109-27 Jamaica Ave. shortly after noon on Saturday, cops said.
Police responding to a call of shots fired found a 20-year-old worker with a gunshot blast in his chest, the NYPD said.
The mortally wounded man was rushed to Jamaica Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said.“It’s the same story. They are getting robbed because they do a cash business, and they have drugs, it’s a two-for-one,” said one weary Queens cop. “Also, there are over 1,200 [smoke shops] in the city. They are in every neighborhood, good and bad.”Kevin C. Downs for NY PostCBD tubes were scattered outside the smoke shop, possible evidence of what the robbers dropped from their heist of CBD cartridges and other drug paraphernalia.
