Police are working to determine if a deadly shooting inside a tobacco shop in the Bronx started as an armed robbery. It happened just after 11 p.m. Wednesday on East 167th Street just east of the Grand Concourse in the Melrose section.
Two people were shot. One of them is dead.
"We feel so sorry for his family, we feel sorry for ourselves," said shop owner J. J. Ali. "We lost the great man in this whole 'hood."
23-year-old Kashka Richards was well known to J. J. Ali. "Kush," as he was known, worked odd jobs in the neighborhood.
Now family and friends are mourning his loss.
"This great man, running for his life," said Ali. "And somebody chased him, started shooting at the store."
Crime scene investigators were at the store collecting evidence all night.
