The deceased identified as Himank Karki, a resident of Biratnagar, was shot at by two unidentified criminals, who could have been robbers, the Baltimore Sun quoted police as saying. He died on the spot. Karki, who was in the United States on a student visa, was to have attended his first day of classes at Baltimore City Community College on Monday itself. His body was taken to the state medical examiner's office for an autopsy. Karki was working from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift at the gas station. It was not known how long he had worked at the gas station in the 2600 block of Gwynns Falls Parkway near Koko Lane, the report added. According to the local police, the owner of the gas station had restricted Karki from leaving the station office during the working hours.
