NextImg:30-year-old man shot and killed inside Harlem smoke shop: cops

A 30-year-old man was shot and killed inside a Harlem bodega and smoke shop Sunday night, according to police.

The victim, identified as Jazeke Samuels, was found with a gunshot wound to the torso and left arm by officers inside Legend’s Exotic Candy Shop at 300 West 142 Street around 6:10 p.m., the NYPD said.

Samuels was working behind the counter when the gunman shot him, according to surveillance video obtained by ABC7.

It’s unclear if Sunday’s shooting was a robbery gone bad or what the killer’s motives were. William Miller

The Harlem resident was taken to nearby NYC Health + Hospital-Metropolitan where he was pronounced dead.

Cops said the store where the shooting occurred was a bodega but police sources said it doubled as an unlicensed smoke shop. Smoke shops that are not licensed to sell marijuana have often been the targets of violent — and even deadly — robberies across the city as many are cash businesses.

The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made, cops said.
