(12-28) 14:42 PST RICHMOND -- Ravinder and Paramjit Kalsi, who came to this country penniless and tirelessly worked their way to middle-class prosperity, embodied the American dream.
In the end, they also embodied the American nightmare. The Sikh brothers, whom friends described as gentle, generous and extremely hardworking, were gunned down in the Indian restaurant they owned in Richmond on Thursday night, an apparently random act that has shocked the community and baffled police.
"The motive is completely unknown," said Lt. Mark Gagan, who, along with other Richmond police officers, was a regular at the brothers' San Pablo Avenue restaurant. "Even veterans to law enforcement are puzzled by this. Based on the brothers' lifestyle and the dynamics of how it went down, it's very unique. It's also very disturbing."
The Kalsis' slayings were followed by two other apparently unrelated homicides in Richmond over the next 16 hours. Darryl Jacobs, 45, of Richmond, was found shot in the back of the head on the sidewalk near South 38th Street and Wall Avenue around 10 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
At 1 p.m. Friday, police found a woman shot to death inside a vehicle parked at Carlson Boulevard and Pullman Avenue. The Contra Costa County coroner's office had not released her name Friday evening.
The Kalsis were killed just after 9 p.m. Thursday, as they were closing Sahib Indian Restaurant, which they'd owned for five years, at 12221 San Pablo Ave. Two suspects, whom police described as Asian or Latino, approached the restaurant door and shot Ravinder, 30, as he let them in. The suspects then chased Paramjit, 42, into the rear of the restaurant and shot him before fleeing.
The restaurant was not robbed, and police do not think the incident is linked to a recent string of armed takeovers at East Bay Asian restaurants, Gagan said.
The East Bay Sikh community was stunned and enraged at the news.
"These were the most gracious, hardworking, spiritual guys," said Gurman Bal, the brothers' former roommate in Berkeley and a fellow member of the Sikh temple in El Sobrante. "Something has to be done. If the police can't capture the monsters who did this, they should just dissolve the police department and let people fend for themselves.
"It's nearly like that now - lawless."
The brothers immigrated to the United States in 1997 from the town of Patijla, about 150 miles north of New Delhi. Carpenters in India, they did construction work in Berkeley for several years until they saved enough to buy a house. They bought, renovated and sold or leased several houses over the years, eventually earning enough to open their restaurant and send money home to India.
One of the brothers was engaged to a woman in India, and the brothers planned to sell the restaurant and return home for the wedding at the end of the month, Richmond City Councilman Harpreet Sandhu, a friend, said Friday.
"It's a terrible shock," he said. "They were the kindest of people. They were always friendly, smiling, working hard. No one can believe they were killed like this. It's tragic."
The brothers' deaths are not the first act of violence against Sikhs in Richmond. In 2003, two Sikh cabdrivers were shot in what police believed were hate crimes. One of the cabbies died and one survived.
Friends and customers of the brothers planned to hold a vigil at the restaurant Friday night, and a prayer service is scheduled at the El Sobrante Sikh temple on Sunday.
"People are really shocked by this," said J.P. Singh, past president of the temple and a longtime friend of the Kalsi brothers. "Richmond has a track record worse than the Third World. This would never happen in India."
Anyone with information about the slayings is asked to call the Richmond Police Department at (510) 233-1214. |
