A career criminal is wanted for shooting a Bronx man in the face and killing him during a botched robbery, cop sources and family said Saturday.

Theodore (Taz) Simpson, 21, allegedly fired the shot that killed 24-year-old Clayton Graham as the thug rummaged through his pockets inside a Soundview building on March 18, the sources said.

The 5-foot-9, 160-pound Simpson confronted Graham at gunpoint on the 14th-floor of the Story Ave. building in the James Monroe Houses about 8:50 p.m., cops and friends said.

Simpson has a slew of prior arrests that include burglary, assault, and drug possession, sources said.

Graham’s funeral is scheduled for Tuesday, March 27, 2012.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit NYPDCrimestoppers.com.

All calls are strictly confidential.
