Trenton (New Jersey): An Indian-American pharmacy owner here was shot dead allegedly by a black teenager after he refused to give a medicine to the boy without a valid prescription.
Arjun Reddy Dyapa, 52, owner of Brunswick Avenue Pharmacy in Broad Street was shot in the chest and brought dead to Capital Health Regional Medical Centre across the pharmacy around 6.30 pm local time on Friday evening.
Eyewitnesses said a teenage African-American showed up at the counter and demanded a prescription medicine without producing valid prescription issued by a physician. Dyapa politely refused but when the customer insisted that he be given the medicine he told the boy that he would lose his licence if he obliged him.
The boy left only to return again and fired one bullet at Dyapa from behind. The police have taken the CCTV recordings and are confident of nabbing the criminal very soon.
Dyapa, a native of Jadcherla in Mahbubnagar district, is survived by wife Geetha and a 16-year-old daughter. AGENCIES
