According to @ScooterCasterNY on X, police responded around 11:42 p.m. following a confrontation inside a deli that reportedly spilled out onto the street. Two men, both said to be 28, were shot. One of them died, per@ScooterCasterNY.
Family members at the scene identified one of the victims as a delivery worker.
We are waiting for more information from the NYPD.
According to residents, the deli in question was 216 Sal's Deli & Grocery on the NW corner of 13th and B.
An EVG reader provided this account:
My wife and I were awakened by the sound of 2 or 3 shots at about 11:40 p.m., and saw from our window a wounded guy stumble to 13th Street and Avenue B. There were a couple of others trying to help him. Police came first and gave the wounded man initial treatment, and he was then put on an ambulance, which arrived a moment or two later.To be honest, he looked quite bad — he had been screaming and struggling initially, but was motionless and quiet by the time he received first aid, seemingly including CPR.
The resident reported that both Sal's and their other deli, Brothers on 14th and B, were closed this morning.
We'll continue to monitor and update — as is often the case, initial details may change as more information becomes available.

Hello, I am the one whose account was quoted. After reading/seeing the Scootercaster account, reading Citizens app, and speaking to my wife, I am now wondering if the people in the street that I thught were trying to help him (I thought I'd seen them trying to hail a passing car) were actually part of the altercation. One of them was indeed a big guy, dressed all in black who was then reported as fleeing on foot.
