A dispute outside a Bronx deli turned deadly on the evening of June 12, 2025, when 56-year-old Anthony Huggins was shot in the head just before 9:30 p.m. The Black / African American man was found unconscious at 621 E. 169th Street in the Morrisania section and taken by EMS to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he later died of his wounds.

Police sealed off the scene in front of Franklin Gourmet Deli and conducted a visible, hands-on investigation. Evidence markers were placed on the sidewalk; a set of keys and a pair of white Crocs were noted among items left behind. Investigators also searched inside the deli and examined ceiling boards for additional evidence. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active.

If anyone saw the incident, the people involved, or recognizes the items left at the scene, please come forward with information.
