NEW YORK: With the nation still in shock from the killing of an Indian engineer in the US last week, another Indian-origin businessman has been shot dead outside his home in South Carolina, media reports said.

On Thursday night, Harnish Patel had closed his shop at 11.24 p.m. and barely ten minutes later he was shot dead outside his house in Lancaster, a media report said.

Patel's death comes two days after President Donald Trump had condemned as "hate and evil" the killing of Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, the previous Wednesday in a Kansas bar.

Local officials in Lancaster, however, did not believe that Patel's killing was a bias crime as investigations are on, The Herald reported

"I don't have any reason to believe that this was racially motivated," County Sheriff Barry Faile said on Friday.

In the February 22 Kansas killing, Kuchibhotla was shot dead by a man screaming, "Get out of my country".

Another Indian Alok Madasani, who was with the victim at a bar, and an American, Ian Grillot, who tried to stop the shooting, were also shot and injured.

Adam Purinton, a white and a former Navy SEAL was arrested and charged with murder. He had reportedly said that he had shot two Iranians after shooting the Indians.

The hate crime was condemned by leaders in both the US and India.

In his State of the Union address to the joint session of the Congress on February 28, Trump said: "Last week's shooting in Kansas City, remind us that while we may be a Nation divided on policies, we are a country that stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its forms."

Local WSOCTV said that in Lancaster there was a lot of anger over the killing of Patel, who was considered an important member of the community and a kind person who treated his customers as friends and helped law enforcement.

His store was close to the Sheriff's office and deputies often frequented the store.

Faile said on TV that Patel was a "great family man" and a friend.

The station said that Patel was survived by his wife and child in elementary school, who were at home when he was killed.

People had created an impromptu shrine outside Patel's Speed Mart store by leaving balloons and flowers in his memory, the station said. A sign on door read, "Store closed for few days because of family emergency. Sorry for the inconvenience."

A tearful customer, Nicole Jones, told the station that when someone didn't have money, Patel gave them food. "I would have no idea who would do this to him as good as he is to everybody," she said.

A store employee, Keira Baskin, said that he only wanted the best for his employees and his family.

On Thursday night a woman called the police and said that she heard screaming and gunshots and when sheriff's deputies arrived there they found Patel dead from apparent gunshot wounds a few feet from his house, WBTV reported.

Police found two shell casings at the crime scene. A police dog could not pick up any scent to follow from there, WSOCTV reported.

on the bright side, victims family can enjoy trump cake since there is plenty more to come

we mourn for brothers loss :(

Don't pretend like you live in Flatbush or some shit. I'm not falling for your bs. You Indians always got bullied at school.


Not once, you try to push that hilarious hide behind Pakistani non sense to Pakistanis and Indians in India and Pakistan, not going to work with me. Do they also do a bollywood dance around a tree scene too?

And the city I immigrated to is actually in the top 5 worst, dangerous cities in New York. Immigrated to the worst section of it too.

If you mind your business, you will be fine. If you act like a tough guy, you're going to be put in your places. And it's usually unfair.

Seriously, hide behind a Pakistani. :rofl: Do even the Pakistanis and Indians actually believe wtf you're saying?

None of us have homefield advantage. You mind your business, let them destroy each other. Dont push non-sense here.

If blacks, hispanics are the ones getting shot and jumped on a regular bases, wtf are Pakistanis going to do? Who, btw, are mostly business savvy type of people here.
 
Never had a problem and I've moved to conservative Texas from NYC.

Indians in the US are considered meek and docile people. To us they say it's because they are educated and civilized, but we know that's nothing but bs. If you let someone bully you, they will continue until you stand up to them. Bullies like to pick on soft targets that won't fight back.

In NYC when I was growing up a lot of the Indians would come running to Pakistanis for protection.

You guys are studs man. Part of the reason we are so pissed about the partition is that we lost our bouncers.

No Pakistani here is going to do A DAMN THING against these hood rats. Stop pushing your non sense here.

It's like saying some small black community in some rough part of Afghanistan is going to do anything.
 
Ok man I'm tired of your stories. Bye


Good try pushing that nonsense here.

Like I said, some 6'2 black guy can get killed by some 5'6 teen on a regular bases, wtf, are some immigrant community people going to do?

Most Pakistanis here are business savvy type of people. And there's nothing wrong with not even trying to being associated with hood rat nonsense.

No, but I know non sense when I see it.

Even Pakistani store owners in the US buck back. Never heard of Indian trying to fight off a robber in his store. You're going to get some IT nerd from India hurt with these dumb *** stories. Carry on.
