28-year-old Abdul Saleh of New York City was shot dead in Lower Manhattan on Saturday night after an altercation at Sal’s Deli and Grocery.
According to CBS News, Saleh confronted a customer who refused to pay for a meal and a fight ensued, resulting in the culprit shooting Saleh dead and accidentally striking himself with a ricocheted bullet.
The shooter, who allegedly harassed and tried to fight staff and customers often, is recovering from his wound in a local hospital.
In May 2025, Saleh spoke with ABC 7 Eyewitness News about crime in the city, telling the outlet he was worried for his safety and that police don’t respond fast enough when bodega workers are attacked or robbed.
