Police say a massive manhunt is underway for 31-year-old Jesus Acosta, accused of killing two people in separate shootings in the Bronx and Brooklyn within a 48-hour span. Authorities say Acosta shot and killed a customer at a Bronx deli just after midnight Tuesday, then went behind the counter and took cash before fleeing. The shooting was captured on store surveillance video, which police say shows the gunman opening fire inside the deli. Investigators are still working to determine the circumstances of the second killing in Brooklyn. Acosta remains at large as authorities continue searching for him, warning residents that he should be considered dangerous. The brazen, violent crime spree has rattled New Yorkers already on edge over rising concerns about public safety in the city.
