23-year-old Bangladeshi youth Tanjim Siam has finally lost his battle for life 40 days after a gunman shot him in the head during a grocery store robbery in the Roxbury area of the United States' Boston city in July.
He passed away around 10am on Saturday (local time) at a local hospital where he was in a coma for five weeks.
Hailing from Noakhali, Siam worked at the M & R Convenience store on Shawmut Avenue after moving to the Boston area from Bangladesh earlier this year.
He sustained critical injuries when a gunman shot him in the head during a robbery in the store on the night of July 14.
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'.
On August 7, an arrest warrant was issued against the suspect in the shooting, a 25-year-old Stephon Samuel.
Samuel is charged with armed robbery by means of a firearm, armed assault with intent to murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and armed career criminal level one, Boston police said.
Earlier this month, police said Samuel was already in custody at the Plymouth County House of Corrections on unrelated charges.
