Manhattan bodega worker charged with murder wanted to avoid confrontation, video shows

The New York City bodega worker who was charged with second-degree murder after allegedly fatally stabbing an ex-convict who stormed into the store during a dispute wanted to avoid the conflict all together, new video shows.

“Papa, I don’t want a problem, papa,” 61-year-old bodega worker Jose Alba is heard telling Austin Simon as he walks behind the deli counter, video obtained by the New York Post shows.

The video is the first that provides audio of the words exchanged between the two before the fatal stabbing on July 1.
