Responding paramedics pronounced Singh deceased at the scene, according to police. No description of the suspect is available, though a fleeting image of a person running from the scene was captured on nearby surveillance cameras.

  1. Working men and women have been targeted and victimized in so many way these past two years. I hope they are able to bring the person responsible to justice soon.

  2. For what??? 50 dollars?? I hope they find this person and we get a look at the sort of person who could do this to someone.
