TRENTON – A man was shot inside a city deli Wednesday afternoon, police said.

Trenton cops roped off the Radelis Grocery and Deli with yellow crime-scene tape, and a police officer stood guard at the door.

The deli is located on the 800 block Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, at the intersection of Beakes Street.

Trenton Police Capt. Stephen Varn said the investigation was in its early stages but witnesses saw three men in hoodies enter the store around 3:30 p.m.

A 27-year-old man was shot inside moments later, then the same three men left the store and got into a silver Mazda, the police spokesman said.

Police located what is believed to be the getaway vehicle in Ewing, on Robbins Avenue. Varn didn’t know if the suspects were discovered with the vehicle or if it had been abandoned.

The victim was shot in the buttocks and taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center. He was in stable condition and expected to survive.
