Deli clerk killed in Queens bodega shooting

A deli clerk working alone in a Queens bodega was shot and killed last night during a brazen robbery.

Cops said Ishak Ghali, 26, was shot once in the head after a lone gunman entered the All Friends Grocery & Deli on Onderdonk Avenue in Ridgewood, shortly after 6 p.m.

Police officers responding to a 911 call discovered the Ghali in the store. An EMS crew pronounced him dead at the scene.

It was unclear how much money was stolen. There were no arrests.

Relatives said Ghali was alone in the store, one of several his family owns.

“He was working alone because business was so slow here,” said Agiby Malak, a friend of the victim. ”A friend walked in and found him lying on the floor with blood everywhere and called everyone to come down. He was a hard-working guy. Everyone in the neighborhood liked him.”
