MORRISANIA — Police are looking for a man who fired two shots into a Bronx bodega over the weekend.

On Dec. 26 around 9 p.m., a gunman shot into the Sheale Deli Grocery, a bodega at 1095 Prospect Ave. from a black firearm, police said.

Although his shots hit the bodega’s front door and interior wall, no employees or customers at the bodega reported being injured from the shooting, according to the NYPD.

Police are still trying to determine a motive for the shooting and have described the suspect as a roughly 18-year-old man wearing a black jacket, black jeans and black Arizona Diamondbacks baseball hat.

Employees at the bodega did not know details of the shooting.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES), then entering TIP577.
