The goon accused of gunning down a beloved East Village deli worker was rounded up in a massive federal gang takedown a decade ago — and came back to allegedly terrorize the neighborhood, The Post has learned. Kavone Horton, 28 — who lives with his mother half a block away from Sal’s Deli and Grocery — allegedly harassed workers there so often they had filed at least two police complaints against him before the fatal encounter. Horton allegedly returned to the deli Saturday night and shot dead worker Abdul Saleh, a 28-year-old father of two, during a fight that had spilled out onto the sidewalk, police said.
