Surveillance video captures the moment a Manhattan bodega worker allegedly stabbed an angry customer to death after a dispute over a bag of chips inside the small store.

Video footage is stunning. Why the DA is going hard on this case is beyond me.
Jose Alba is sitting in Rikers Island awaiting his next court date on murder charges
- Last Friday, he killed Austin Simon, a 37-year-old ex-con who attacked him
- Simon's girlfriend couldn't afford a bag of potato chips in Alba's Harlem bodega
- When he tried to reclaim the chips, she pulled a knife out of her purse then called for her boyfriend's back-up
- Simon then confronted Alba in the store and Alba stabbed him in self-defense
- Simon died in the hospital and Alba was arrested on murder charges
- His family started a GoFundMe for his defense but it was removed last night after raising $20,000
- Now, there is a growing campaign to #FreeJoseAlba amid fury at Alvin Bragg
- Bragg's office routinely awards no or low cash bail to violent offenders in NYC
- The case is due to be presented to a grand jury on Thursday
