"Police are on the hunt for a man wanted for allegedly shooting a woman to death in front of a Mott Haven bodega.
According to police, Amere Bryant, 24, shot Shaquana Button, 36, in the face on Monday, January 12 at 11:29 p.m. in front of E. Food Corp. Candy and Grocery at 728 E. 149th Street following a dispute.
Upon arrival, 40th Precinct police discovered Button unconscious and unresponsive with a gunshot wound to her face.
EMS responded to the scene and pronounced Button dead on arrival.
No arrests have been made in this outgoing investigation.
Police confirmed that Bryant has priors for criminal possession of a weapon and criminal sale of marijuana.

Thoughts? As if this case isn't tragic enough, Shaquana Button's mother was also shot in the head and murdered 18 years ago: nypost.com/2018/01/16/woman-shot-in-head-suffered-same-tragic-fate-as-her-mom/
NYC boedgas are usually busy 24/7 and not to mention usually have security cameras, so the fact that Amere Bryant would allegedly shoot someone in public after an argument that whatever it was could not have been worth been someone's life not caring who or what could see him even at 11:29 at night is quite scary.
Shaquana Button was also engaged and was supposed to be married to her boyfriend of 14 years in June.
I am assuming because this case was all over the New York City media when Shaquana was murdered that Bryant is unfortunately still at large as of this posting date (4/22/2018) since it would make news if/when he is caught. However, if anyone has any updates, past or un the future, please feel free to let us know. This is a completely tragic and ridiculously senseless murder and there needs to be justice for Shaquana.
