Angel Cuasant, 26, was shot inside a Bronx deli on Briggs Avenue on the morning of December 18, 2022. A 911 call around 11:15 a.m. led police to the Fordham Manor deli, where Cuasant was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his torso. He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and pronounced dead.

Family described Angel, also known as Pookie, as the youngest of six children and not involved in gang activity; his mother called him a good kid who didn’t look for trouble. For months the case had no arrest, leaving the family without answers. On April 5, 2023, police arrested 37-year-old Andres Latorre of Melrose and charged him with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon; he pleaded not guilty and was awaiting further proceedings.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything around the deli that morning that could help the investigation?
