Sikh Temple Member Killed in Apparent Robbery Submitted: 08/18/2012
OAK CREEK - Members of the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek are dealing with another tragic loss, nearly two weeks after a gunman killed six people at their place of worship.

Police in Milwaukee say it was an armed robbery attempt that led to a shooting at a north side food market Wednesday night.

Fifty-six-year-old Dalbir Singh was killed when a bullet was fired through a door at the Harmony Foods store owned by Singh's nephew.

Singh was a member of the temple where the August 5th rampage took place.


Relatives say he went to the temple after learning of the shooting.

Amardeep Kaleka lost his father in the temple shooting.

He says that another Sikh family is now mourning a victim of violence.

Police are still looking for suspects in the market shooting.
