A 21-year-old Bangladeshi youth is currently fighting for his life in a coma after a gunman shot him in the head during a grocery store robbery in the Roxbury area of the United States' Boston city Tuesday (July 14) night.

Tanjim Siam, the victim, who works at the M&R convenience store on Shawmut Avenue, was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries after the incident, reports Boston.com quoting officials.

According to a Boston police spokesman, the shooting at 718 Shawmut Avenue was reported to authorities around 9:14 pm Tuesday (local time). An investigation into the shooting is ongoing.

Police who reviewed the store surveillance video said Siam did everything the gunman requested, but that didn’t save him from getting shot in the head in 'execution-style'.

The surveillance pictures of the suspect haven’t been released yet, reports CBS Boston.

Tanjim Siam went to Massachusetts from Bangladesh and started working at M&R convenience store only a few months ago, says the reports.
