NYC man fatally shot in front of daughter in caught-on-video bodega dispute
A 30-year-old man was shot and killed in front of his young daughter at a Manhattan bodega Thursday evening in a shocking caught-on-camera dispute.
The victim, Tykeem Berry, was arguing with another man inside an Inwood deli at 144 Nagle Ave. when he was shot in the chest just after 4 p.m., police said.
Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Berry, wearing a red puffer jacket, standing near the counter of 144 Deli & Grocery as another man stands in the doorway shouting at him.
The man, who had his hand tucked suspiciously into his coat, leaves and Berry puts down his headphones and bag and peeks out the door before walking out of the camera frame.
Seconds later, the gunman charges back into the bodega and shoots Berry at close range as his 9-year-old daughter stands nearby, the video shows.
The victim lurches forward and grabs his alleged attacker, pushing him out the door, before he falls to the ground on the sidewalk.
He falls out of the camera’s view, but his hand can be seen trembling and shaking as he lays on the ground.
Berry was rushed to Harlem Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The 30-year-old was previously the victim of gun violence twice in March 2012 and January 2013, police sources said. The details of the prior shootings were unknown.
The alleged gunman fled the scene and there have been no arrests.
It’s unclear what the two men were fighting about.
