Investigators are searching for two suspects who shot a city man in the leg Friday night during a robbery attempt at the corner of Lexington Avenue and Olean Street, police said.
Police said they received numerous 911 calls about the shooting at shortly after 8:30 p.m. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found the victim sitting on the ground near El Coqui Grocery Store and Deli, 39 Lexington Ave., and bleeding from a gunshot wound in his upper right leg, according to police. The victim said he was walking home from a Mexican Restaurant on Ely Avenue when two black males approached him near the grocery store and demanded money, police said.
The victim told the robbers that he did not have his wallet, and he started to run, police said. He only made it to the back of the grocery store because one of the robbers pulled out a black handgun and shot him in the leg, according to police. The robbers fled down Olean Street, and the victim managed to run a short distance before collapsing in front of the grocery store, police said.

"It went very well, better than expected," said Judkins, whose son is in the marching band. Karen Amsler, chairwoman of Marching Bears, Inc., said the flea market was a success and it will become a yearly event. She said that although the event was "thrown together in three weeks," there was a tremendous outpouring of support from the community. Norwalk High School color guard member Rachel Tangard said she was surprised by the large amount of people who combed the aisles of the flea market and the quality of the items that were being sold by vendors at the market.
"I've seen so many cars come in here," she said. "I'm working here and I still brought some stuff." Tangard and her fellow color guard member Heidy Contreras praised the dedication of the parents who work to raise money for the color guard and marching band. Marching Bears, Inc., a group of parents that organizes various fundraisers for the band, generates enough money each year to fund trips for the award-winning band and provide scholarships for band members.
