A man accused of gunning down a customer during a Bronx deli robbery is also wanted in connection with a deadly Brooklyn shooting two days earlier, police said.
The suspect, identified by the NYPD as 31-year-old Jesus Acosta, is being hunted in connection with two deadly shootings that unfolded days apart across New York City, police told Fox News Digital.
The latest attack happened around 12:16 a.m. Tuesday at 149 Grill & Deli at 143 East 149th Street in the Bronx, where a gunman approached a 33-year-old man and opened fire, striking him multiple times in the chest, according to police and FOX 5 New York.
