WEST HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- A Long Island grocery store reopened Monday, nearly a week after a shooting that left one employee dead and two others injured.

A memorial sits outside the store, with flowers and a photo of 49-year-old Ray Wishropp.

Police said Wishropp was gunned down last Tuesday inside the Stop & Shop in West Hempstead.

He left behind seven children.

The suspected shooter, 31-year-old Gabriel Dewitt Wilson, faces murder and attempted murder charges.
