Elderly Sikh killed in US hate crime

Gurcharan Singh Gill, an employee at local liquor store at Shields Express in West Shields Avenue was at work when he was stabbed to death during broad day light, Lieutenant Mindy Casto said. 

Emergency medical team tried to provide firstaid but it was determined that Gill had already died, Fresno Bee reported. While investigations are still on-going, local community members feel Gill was attacked due to his identity and skin colour, Casto said. On December 28, another elderly Sikh man was brutally assaulted by two persons in Fresno. No arrests have been made in either case.
