Police say a 17-year-old was followed, punched and shot dead in the Bronx. ThaliaPerezTV reports.
As CBS2's Thalia Perez reports, police say the victim was followed before being shot in the Highbridge neighborhood.
Police say it was just after 8 p.m. Tuesday when the 17-year-old was confronted by the group outside of the Big Sal Deli and Grocery at the corner of West 170th Street and Ogden Avenue. "He's a nice guy, and his mom, she is good. She is coming and buying from me every time, laughing, joking," said Abdo Alatabr. "I'm very sad. I heard he died, and he is so young," Altabr said.
"This affects a lot of people because it happened right here in the 'hood. Like, right here. I'm just so devastated. You know, I just keep talking to my son and I tell everybody please keep your son close, your kids close," said area resident Lasha Pickett.
