July 1, 2026 QUEENS, NY What started as a routine late-night shift at a neighborhood storefront exploded into a scene of pure chaos and violence. A Queens deli worker is lucky to be alive after a ruthless trio of thieves stabbed him repeatedly in the back—all for a few cases of beer.

The terrifying, cold-blooded attack has left the Corona community reeling as police launch an intense manhunt to capture the violent fugitives.

The 2:20 AM Bloodbath

The horror unfolded in the dead of night on Saturday, June 21, inside a deli located at 41-03 108th Street in Corona.

According to authorities, three men entered the establishment around 2:20 AM. Instead of heading to the register to pay, the situation turned instantly lethal. Armed with a sharp object, the suspects ambushed the 42-year-old male employee, plunging the weapon into his back multiple times.

In a chilling display of cruelty, the thieves completely ignored the bleeding, gravely injured worker on the floor, grabbed several cases of beer, and fled the scene on foot into the night.

The Emergency Response

Officers from the 110th Precinct rushed to the scene alongside emergency medical personnel. EMS workers stabilized the victim and fast-tracked him to Elmhurst Hospital.
