A 28-year-old man was shot to death at a Bronx deli around the corner from his home, police said Tuesday.
Daquan Andrews was inside the Eltareb Deli Grocery on Home St. near Prospect Ave. in the South Bronx when he was shot in the chest about 8:30 p.m. Monday, cops said.
Andrews got to Lincoln Hospital by private means, where he later died.
The gunman ran off. No arrests have been made.
Andrews lived around the corner from where he was shot, according to cops.
A motive for the shooting was not immediately released.
The fatal shooting happened just three hours after six people were shot in another Bronx grocery , cops said.
Those victims include a mom and her 12-year-old daughter the intended targets of the shooting cruelly used as “human shields,” police said.
Two gunmen opened fire in the middle of White Plains Road in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx — about five miles from where Andrews was shot — striking six people.
The mom and daughter were standing at the counter of a bodega when the shooters, who ranged in age from 18 to 21, opened fire outside. The intended targets of the shooting then ran into the bodega, bumped into the pair, and spun them around to use as “human shields,” NYPD Chief of Department John Chell said.
