Man shot in head inside Flatbush deli

A 20-year-old man was shot in the head at a deli in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn.

The NYPD was questioning a person of interest in a separate incident.

Mayor-elect Eric Adams and incoming NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell visited the deadly shooting scene Wednesday.

"It is completely unacceptable," said Sewell. " I don't want to speak to the actual incident that happened here because that is in the hands of the investigators at this time. When we get on board we are going to take a look with fresh eyes of what's going on here."
