Deli-slay suspect a customer

The man suspected of gunning down a Brooklyn bodega worker in a robbery gone wrong was a regular customer and had come in just hours earlier for an egg sandwich, an NYPD source said Wednesday.

Fadhl Moosa was shot in the head just after 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at 703 Flatbush Ave., police said.

The suspect, who hasn’t been identified but is described as emotionally disturbed, walked behind the counter and fired after the clerk told him to go back to the other side, a source told The Post.

He had demanded money from Moosa just moments earlier, police said.

Deli workers didn’t believe the gunman was a threat because he regularly comes in, the source said, adding that sometimes he pays for items and other times he doesn’t.

The suspect had been in earlier Tuesday to order the sandwich, according to the source.

He was wearing the same clothes when he returned and Moosa was slain (inset).

Responding officers found Moosa behind the counter, lying face down in a pool of blood. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Mayor-elect Eric Adams visited the scene Wednesday with his incoming NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell.

“We are asking people to come forward with information. The detectives are here, they’re looking at the video, the footage to get this case closed. We want anyone who is responsible for a crime like this to be brought to justice,” Adams said.

“A young man is lost due to gun violence. We have been talking about the over-proliferation of guns in our community. After announcing the police commissioner, we wanted to come by here to show respect for the family..”

Sewell, who will be the first female to take on the top NYPD job, called the shooting “totally unacceptable.”

Their visit came just hours after Sewell vowed to crack down on gun violence as she was officially announced as police commissioner.

Adams reaffirmed the need to bring back plainclothes officers to crack down on gun violence in the city.

“Within one year, you’re going to see real change in how we handle crime,” Adams said, adding that his approach would include partnerships with district attorneys, judges and crisismanagement teams to prevent crime in the first place.

“We’re going to be visible in our community and make sure that people know we are here with you. You’re going to see us on the trains, on the streets, you’re going to see us in NYC Housing Authority — we will be visible together.”

A Moosa relative at the scene who didn’t want to be identified told The Post the victim was “a really good person.”

Denise Thomas, a local resident who frequents the deli, said the victim’s family had been in Flatbush for decades.

“You could be short of change, they don’t care, they feeding you,” she said.

“When I heard, I melted. They need to clean up these streets.”
