NEW YORK - JUNE 18: Jesus Martinez (L) works at his bodega grocery store around the corner from where Bolivar Cruz was killed while working at his bodega last week June 18, 2007 in the Queens borough of New York City. Sixteen area bodega stores in Queens have been robbed since March. While crime has dropped throughout New York City, operating a bodega is still a risky job as many clients are poor and the stores are often situated in high crime areas.

El caso de Jose Alba, el bodeguero dominicano que fue atacado en lo que trabajaba en una bodega de Nueva York y termino apuñalando mortalmente a su atacante, ha recibido atención nacional tras el fiscal de la ciudad haberle puesto cargos de asesinato.
La presión de la comunidad ha provocado que le quiten todos los cargos a Alba ya que la evidencia y videos demuestran claramente que, aunque lamentable, defensa propia se meritaba en esa situacion.
