Patel, a Gujarati man who had lived in the US for over three decades and owned a store, was killed when armed robbers entered his store and fired multiple shots. His 19-year-old daughter escaped unharmed. Another employee, a 70-year-old man, suffered a wrist fracture when he fell during the shooting. Authorities have launched a manhunt for the suspect, who was described as a male wearing a gray hoodie, jeans, black work-style boots, and a paintball-style mask. The suspect fled the scene in a white sedan. This incident is the latest in a series of violent attacks on Gujarati-store owners and employees in the US.",
