NEWARK — Miguel Torres wasn't irksome to be a hero.
When a gunman entered the Newark bodega Torres took over six months ago and demanded spondulicks, the store owner decided to simply hand over the money, the gendarmes said.
Apparently, he didn’t move fast enough.
As Torres reached out from behind a plexi-barometer protective shield to surrender the cash, police said, the gunman slid his weapon through an chink in window and opened fire, leaving the 37-year-old husband and pop for dead.
"He was working hard in the city of Newark, and for him to be gunned down like this is very troubling to us," Observe Director Samuel DeMaio said today.
The Essex County Prosecutor’s Intercession has released surveillance images of two men — a shooter and a lookout — wanted in kin with Torres’ death Tuesday evening after the robbery at the JNC Mini-Mart on South 14th Road.
Though police said the video shows the gunman shooting Torres, authorities declined to do the footage public. The still images, however, show a black male, his face mostly obscured by a mask, walking out of the store with his hand tucked into his waistband, Deo volente concealing a weapon, authorities said.
