[katharnak]

New Jersey, Apr 30: Arjun Reddy Dyapa(52), a native of Jadcherala village in Mehboobnagar district of AP, pharmacy owner was shot dead, allegedly, by a black teenager after he refused to give a medicine to the boy without a valid prescription. Arjun Reddy of Brunswick Avenue Pharmacy in Broad Street, was shot in the chest and brought dead to Capital Health Re gional Medical Centre across the pharmacy around 6.30 pm local time last evening. Eye witnesses said a teenage African-American with dreadlocks showed up at the counter and demanded a prescription medicine without producing valid prescription issued by a physician.

Arjun Reddy politely refused and said sorry, but when the customer insisted that he be given the medicine, he told the boy that he would lose his licence if he obliges him. The customer, at that time, seemed to have resigned to the fate and nodded his head, said Arjun Reddy's staff. The boy left only to return again and fired one bullet at Dyapa from his pistol from behind.

The police have taken the video camera recordings and are confident of nabbing the criminal very soon.

Arjun Reddy is survived by wife Geetha and a 16-year-old daughter. Arjun Reddy was an active community activist and one of the founders of North American Telugu Association (NATA) and also a senior leader of American Telugu Association (ATA).

He was involved with several social and cultural organisations in New Jersey.

Steve Ettman, who owns Westside Pharmacy on Hermitage Avenue, said he was "absolutely shocked" by the news. He is offering a USD 1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer.

"This could happen to any of us and Reddy was a nice guy, ever helpful," he said. The shocked Indian-American community leaders gathered at the hospital to console the family and assist in the identification of the culprit.

We have to really careful in this freaking country. Yesterday I saw a man with a gun behind a dumpster near to my office in downtown with a bunch of police pointing the gun to him, that scene was so horrific and later found out that the man robbed a women and took her laptop.  And ever since I am not staying in the office after 5 no matter what.

Friends please be all careful out there each and every second and never even look at  these people in to their eyes.  Feels bad to hear this kind of news.
