Dramatic Video Shows Harlem Smoke Shop Shooting Victim’s Last Moments

Dramatic surveillance footage captures the aftermath of a deadly smokehouse shooting in Harlem as the victim stumbles across the street and falls into a pool of blood.

Video obtained by The Post shows two people running out of a Level Up Exotics smokehouse before the victim staggers out and crosses 125th Street after being shot in the torso and neck around 10 p.m. Saturday.

A mortally wounded man appears to be begging for help, but a bystander can be seen turning away from him.

He is seen falling to the pavement near the local Shake Shack, then unsteadily getting to his feet before disappearing around a corner.

Sources said he passed out about 50 yards down Fifth Avenue, where he bled to death on the sidewalk and was later pronounced dead.

“My staff said some kids inside were holding the door shut and yelling that someone had a gun,” Shake Shack assistant manager Zenen Moran said.

“He drops in front of the door and then a gentleman comes out with a couple of bags in his hand,” he said.

“He gets up and slouches and walks on the wall and you can see his blood all over here on our windows, all the way down the side of the building to where he collapses, over there at the end of the building,” Moran said. .

Police sources said the gunmen turned off security cameras inside the store before fleeing, and they believe one of the perpetrators may have been working in the store.

The fatal shooting was one of four reports of a violent Saturday night in five boroughs – and only the latest shooting outside of a Big Apple smokehouse in recent months.

“It got crazy,” said Rami Shala, manager of a nearby Amazon store. “Marijuana store, they are new. They opened a month or two ago, maybe.

“They bring a lot of craziness,” Shala said. “They are open all night. We have to close so we don’t have problems.”

An upsurge of violence in the smokehouse prompted the police to step up their patrols there.

On Friday, a 48-year-old man was shot and shot in the head during a robbery at a store on Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn.

On Monday, a pair of scammers threatened workers at a tobacco shop in Midwood with a hammer, hit one worker and stole about $150, according to police.

And on January 4, according to police, armed robbers shot a Lower East Side tobacco shop worker in the back at an Exotic store on Clinton Street.

“We have to stop the shooting,” Chaplain Robert Rice, an NYPD spokesman, told The Post after the fatal shooting in Harlem on Saturday night. “We have to ask these people to put down their weapons.

“The key to all of this will be the community working with the police,” Rice said. “Let’s not talk about it.”
