Man dies 2 weeks after shot in Bronx

A Brooklyn man who was shot outside a bodega has died, two weeks after he was gunned down.

Alex Harvey stumbled into Webster Deli and Grocery on Webster Ave. near E. 169th St. in Claremont Village, the Bronx, at 9:10 p.m. on April 14 and asked to use the rest room, deli worker Nieves Burgo told the Daily News.

Burgo, 55, was working the cash register, but immediately started to whip up Harvey’s regular order — a spicy turkey sandwich with lettuce known as a “Salsalito” — when she saw him walk in.

“He came to the store walking fast, like he was being followed. He was acting drunk. He came in wobbling and knocking over things,” Burgo said.

“He said he needed to use the bathroom, and that’s why he went into the basement.”

Burgo said the next sound she heard was a loud “boom” followed by Harvey, 24, tumbling down the stairs.

“He said his stomach was hurting. I didn’t know what was happening,” she explained. “The guy said, ‘Take my jacket off. Take my jacket off,’ because he was sweating so much.”

When several people outside responded to Burgo’s cries for help, she went back to the grill to finish up Harvey’s order, unaware of his serious injuries. She said his alleged friends disappeared as soon as somebody called 911.

Harvey refused to reveal any details about who shot him as he was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital, police said. The East Flatbush man died on Monday, authorities said.

Surveillance footage reviewed by police shows two men walking down a short flight of stairs in the rear of the store into the basement, sources said. A few moments later, Harvey, shot in the chest and arm, is seen running back up the steps and collapsing, video obtained by the Daily News shows.

“He got back up and these guys came. It was a friend outside. They were saying, ‘Hurry up! Hurry up!’ ” said Burgo, adding that Harvey was still stumbling but no longer appeared drunk.

“I just thought he was hot. I got some water for him. He told me to help him get his sweater off. One of his friends was trying to help him. It seemed like he wasn’t bleeding. I couldn’t see any blood.”

Employee Chris Rosario, 45, said Harvey was a regular at the deli with his girlfriend and an all-around sweet person.

“He was a nice guy. He never got into no trouble with nobody. He would come in almost everyday and buy a sandwich,” said a stunned Rosario.

“He used to come to me and say, ‘Oh my friend, you know what I want.’ ”
