A 65-year-old Trinida­di­an na­tion­al was mur­dered in Harlem, New York City in the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca.

He has been iden­ti­fied as side­walk jerk chick­en ven­dor An­tho­ny Brooks. Brooks al­so fixed elec­tric bikes for ex­tra cash.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, he was shot in the chest as he strug­gled with a gun­man who was at­tempt­ing to take his book­bag dur­ing a botched rob­bery on Wednes­day morn­ing.

He died a short time lat­er at Harlem Hos­pi­tal.

Brooks had been grilling up his usu­al batch of the West In­di­an dish­es, which his fam­i­ly said he sold or gave away, at the makeshift stand that he set up every day.

He’d set up shop on a cou­ple of milk crates un­der­neath a tent, al­so turn­ing wrench­es to fix the e-bikes cus­tomers brought him.
