Karunakar Karengle, 53, was shot while working the night shift at the Jiffy Convenience Mart on Camelot Drive in Fairfield, Ohio, on December 4, 2017. Two armed men entered the store about 10 p.m.; surveillance later showed them parked behind a nearby laundromat. Both wore hoodies that hid most of their faces, one with a dark jacket and one with a light-colored jacket. The suspects fled with an undetermined amount of money. Karengle was taken to UC West Chester Hospital and died of his injuries four days later.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains open. Karengle’s identity was initially withheld so family in India could be notified. The shooting has been noted in local discussion about violence against people of Indian origin, and Fairfield police continue to seek information that could lead to the suspects’ identification and apprehension.

If anyone has information about the two men seen on surveillance or the vehicle parked behind the laundromat, please share it with Fairfield police.
