  "account": "A 27-year-old man named Gurdeep Singh was shot dead while delivering pizza in New York City, according to recent reports. Singh, from Punjab, traveled to the United States 13 years ago in search of a better life for his parents, working tirelessly to build a future for them. The tragic incident occurred on Friday evening at around 9:58 pm near 899 Crescent Street in Brooklyn, where NYPD officers found Singh fatally shot multiple times. He was rushed to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale Hospital Medical Center but was pronounced dead. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing. Singh's family in Begowal, Punjab, is devastated by the loss, as reported by NDTV. The attack is suspected to be linked to an attempted robbery. Singh's father, Pyara Lal, expressed his grief and appealed to the US government to expedite arrangements for bringing his son's body back to India. Additionally, Singh's family has urged US authorities to apprehend the accused swiftly and impose the harshest possible punishment. This incident comes amid a series of shooting incidents involving Indians in the US, including a recent killing of a Gujarati man in Tennessee.",
