It’s frank. I work at the family deli next door at 2311. He used to always buy coffee like 10 times a day from us… And he’d buy his favorite sandiwch as well… A roll with Mustard, onions, 2 bacon, 1 tomato, and 1 American cheese.

He’d come and spend like 20 mins talking to me everyday. Very sad this happened to him.

The other articles I read on this claim that the dead man was found with stab wounds and that cops suspect foul play. I live very close to this area and I can not wait to move.
