Murder in Harlem
The guys at the office have a bet going over whether I'll be a victim of a violent crime whilst living in Harlem. There was recently a murder in broad daylight a little ways up Lenox:
[A] gunman entered the Dunkin' Donuts on 145th Street just west of Lenox Avenue in Harlem and demanded money, the police said.Before he fled empty-handed, having been unable to open the cash register, he killed the manager, Joy Kar, with three shots from a handgun.
Witnesses said the gunman had entered with his face covered by a bandanna and pointed his gun at Mr. Kar and another employee behind the counter.
As others in the restaurant fled to the street or to a neighboring Hess service station, the gunman shot Mr. Kar in the back after he refused the demand for cash.
The gunman shot two more times as Mr. Kar attempted to run away, the police said. [more]
