Washington: An Indian man, who was working as a clerk at a convenience store in the US state of Florida, has been shot dead by a teenager in an apparent robbery attempt, the second such incident in just over a month.

Manav Deshi, who was in his 30s, was shot in the face by a 16-year-old teenager yesterday in St Augustine. The incident has sent shockwaves among the small but vibrant Indian- American community in Florida.
