A New York City bodega worker has been charged with second-degree murder for allegedly stabbing and killing a man in self-defense after he was attacked while working inside the store.
Jose Alba, a 51-year-old father of three from the Dominican Republic, was working behind the counter of the bodega store in Manhattan on Friday night when 35-year-old Austin Simon stormed behind the counter and confronted him following a dispute with his girlfriend, according to the New York Post.
