A tragic incident in Union County, South Carolina, claimed the life of 49-year-old Kiran Patel, a Gujarati-origin woman, during a late-night robbery at the gas station-cum-convenience store she managed. On September 16, suspect Zaedan Mack Hill, 21, allegedly entered DD’s Food Mart around 10:30 pm, climbed onto the cash register, and opened fire when Patel resisted handing over money. Patel attempted to flee but was shot multiple times in the parking lot and later succumbed to her injuries. Disturbingly, Hill reportedly returned to fire another shot at her while she lay unconscious. Police said Hill was also linked to another shooting the same day. On September 19, after an hours-long standoff at a residence on South Church Street, SWAT and law enforcement arrested Hill, who now faces murder charges. Patel’s death has left the Indian-American community in shock, with tributes pouring in online. Chandra Nagamallaiah Murder Video: Indian-Origin Motel Manager Beheaded in Dallas, Severed Head Dumped in Trash Bin; Police Nab Accused Yordanis Cobos-Martinez (Viewer Discretion Advised).
