According to news sources, a guy of indian descent was fatally shot while seated in a jeep close to his New York residence. Satnam Singh, 31, was shot on saturday afternoon and transferred to a nearby hospital where physicians pronounced him dead, according to a police report cited by the New York Daily News. The incident took place in South Ozone Park, a neighbourhood near to Richmond Hill where two Sikh men had been beaten up in april in what the police labelled as hate crimes.
Indian origin is widely represented in both areas. According to The news, there was a contradiction between the police and eyewitness versions of the shooting of Satnam Singh. According to the police, the gunman approached him on foot and shot him while he was sitting in the jeep, however a neighbour claimed the shooter was coming at them from a car, and her home security camera caught the attack.
According to the AmNY news site, no arrest had been made as of sunday morning, and authorities were uncertain of the motivation. police were investigating whether Satnam Singh was the shooter's intended victim or whether he had been mistakenly slain by someone who truly planned to attack the owner of the vehicle, according to The news, which cited police sources. Satnam Singh had borrowed the jeep from a friend. In separate occurrences in Richmond Hill in april, two Sikhs had their turbans removed and were stolen. Two males were detained by police and charged with hate crimes in relation to the assaults.
