The man who fatally stabbed a beloved Brooklyn bodega worker Saturday “went crazy” because the victim thought he might be a cop and didn’t want to illegally sell him a “loosie,’’ witnesses told The Post.
The fugitive killer was wearing dark shades and a blue-and-white-striped long-sleeve button-down when he strolled into the East New York store and tossed a dollar on the counter, according to bystanders Sunday and a photo taken moments before the deadly assault.
“He came in, he asked for a cigarette,” said the storeowner, who gave his name only as Omar, of the suspect.
“But the guy working the counter didn’t know him, so he didn’t want to sell him a cigarette. He wanted to be careful. He didn’t want to get a ticket, you know?
