Sal's Deli & Grocery reopened today on the NW corner of 13th Street and Avenue B following the April 25 shooting that claimed the life of employee Abdul Saleh. 

Family members expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of community support in recent days.
The memorial for Saleh, which continues to be maintained, has been moved to the 13th Street side of the deli.
The NYPD confirmed last week that 28-year-old Kavone Horton, who lives a block from the scene, has been charged in the shooting. 

According to police and media accounts, an argument that began inside the deli spilled onto the street, where Saleh was shot.

    I hope the neighborhood will support this family which has touched so many lives in our little corner of the city.
