Another Bangladesh national has died after being shot by miscreants at a liquor store at Los Angeles in the United States.
Abul Kalam Rahim, 55, died at Sunday dawn, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said.
This takes the death toll of Bangladeshis in the North American country to four within the last month and a half alone.
The three others, including a woman, were killed in New York. Police have already arrested the suspects in these murders.
The LAPD said Rahim was an employee at the A&D Liquor Mart on Sherman Way in North Hollywood.
They said the store’s CCTV cameras had picked up the identities of suspects, but no arrests have been made yet.
Police said the assailants were a man and a woman.
Quoting the store owner, several US media reports said the woman first shot Rahim.
Police suspect it was an incident of robbery gone bad, but reports said the cash from the store was not taken.
Rahim’s murder has thrown a pall of gloom over the Bangladeshi residents of Los Angeles.
Momin Bachchu, a Bangladeshi who lives in that area, said everyone needed to stay alert from now on and called on police to step up vigilance.
The father of three daughters and a son, Rahim had been living in the US for the past 16 years.
His college student son ‘Fahim’, who lived with Rahim in LA, said his father visited his two sisters in Bangladesh two months ago. “He had no enmity with anyone.”
Rahim hailed from Dhaka’s Khilgaon.
The family said his body would be sent to Dhaka after autopsy.
