2 Bangladeshis Shot Dead In New York’s Buffalo

Two Bangladeshis were shot dead in New York’s Buffalo City near Zenner Street by miscreants on Saturday (27 April).

The deceased were identified by the local Bangladeshi community as Babul (45), from Cumilla and Yusuf (53), from Sylhet.

Yusuf and his family had just moved from Virginia to Buffalo about a month ago, while Babul and his family had arrived in the US on a tourist visa.

According to eyewitnesses, Babul was doing some construction work at Yusuf's house on Zenner Street when a man approached them. After what appeared to be an argument, the unknown man shot and killed the two before fleeing.

Police and SWAT teams reached the area afterward, pronounced the men dead after blockading the street and put out a request for information on the miscreants.
