A 43-year-old Indian-origin store owner in the US has been shot dead outside his home, just days after an Indian engineer was killed in Kansas in a hate crime shooting that had sent shockwaves across the country. Harnish Patel, 43, owner of a convenience store in Lancaster County, South Carolina, was found dead of gunshot wounds in the front yard of his home on Thursday, reports PTI quoting police officials. Patel closed his store and drove in his silver minivan to his nearby home where authorities believe he was confronted by his killer. He had locked up his nearby store less than 10 minutes before he was found dead, police said. US President Donald Trump had condemned the Kansas shooting.
