Thankfully no one was injured during the shooting, however the gunman quickly fled the scene south on 23rd Street.

If Fatima Food Mart sounds familiar, it should, it made headlines once before – nationally – when the owner was allegedely assaulted in an anti Muslim attack, according to officials at the time of the incident.

Anyone with information in regards to the shooting is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or for Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
