A Bangladeshi has been shot dead in California in the United States by an unknown assailant.
Mostafizur Rahman, 48, was found dead near his home at Bakersfield at 5am Monday.
He was shot eight times on the left side of his chest, his friend Kamrul Islam Shipon said quoting doctors.
Rahman, who was born in Jamalpur, went to the US with his wife, two sons and one daughter on diversity visa lottery in 2010.
He bought a house at Bakersfield a month ago and organised an Iftar party for the local community there on Monday, said Shipon.
Before moving to the US, Rahman worked as a manager of Acme Laboratories in Bangladesh.
He started a taxi company, American Express Taxi, a year after moving into Los Angeles.
Rahman used to drive a taxi himself. He worked in shifts and used to return home around 4am every day.
As he did not return home on Monday, his wife went out on the driveway and found his car parked there. Her husband was found dead on the road.
Bangladeshis living in the same community said Rahman was amiable in nature.
They said, Rahman was prospering with his business, which made him enviable in his community.
Mominul Hoque Bacchu, a leader of the Bangladeshi community in Los Angeles, said three Bangladeshis had been shot dead recently in the same neighbourhood.
Rahman’s daughter graduated recently while his two sons are still in high schools. His wife works as a nurse in a local hospital.
Rahman will be buried on Friday after funerals at a local Downtown mosque, said Shipon.
