Hari Adhikari, 21, was killed at the courtyard of a Southside apartment complex where he lived with his family, police said.
Adhikari´s family said he was robbed of his wallet and a cell phone by a gunman who shot him at point blank range and then walked off.
Adhikari´s brother-in-law said he saw Adhikari get shot in the parking lot of the complex. The brother-in-law said Adhikari had just left his nearby apartment and called from the parking lot for him to come his home when the shooting occurred.
The brother-in-law said he looked out his window and saw the shirtless gunman pointing a gun at Adhikari´s chest while Adhikari was holding his arms up. The brother-in-law heard a shot and saw the victim collapse. The brother-in-law then began screaming and called 911. He said the gunman walked away slowly.
Adhikari was pronounced dead at the scene.
The family is actually from the nearby country of Bhutan, which they fled because of political strife. They were brought here by World Relief, one of several organizations that help refugees resettle in the United States.
Police have no no suspects in custody.
