Surveillance footage showed the woman at Neighborhood Grocery, a bodega near the building, on Saturday afternoon, according to the Post. The store’s owner, Dahan Ali, said the family shopped there frequently.
“I feel so terrible,” Ali told the outlet. “So sad. She was here yesterday at 3 or 4. She was buying some things like normal. Very nice woman. Her husband, her son, all very nice people. I see them every day for the last year.”
Neighbors told the Post that the family had recently moved in to the apartment, and they usually kept to themselves. The incident is raising security concerns for some.
“This building used to be very good. Very safe. No problems,” Akakpo Kodjogan, who has lived in the building since 2007, said. “Now the people who are coming in, no one knows who they are.”
