Nader Alkouli, a 46-year-old husband and father, was fatally shot by a customer on Tuesday. Dozens of people gathered at a vigil in front of the store Friday to remember the staple of their community who made everyone feel like a friend.
Dozens of San Bernardino community members gathered to pay their respects to a San Bernardino liquor store clerk who was fatally shot while on the job earlier this week.Nader Alkouli, 46, was a staple at P&J Liquor, where neighbors can shop for all of their grocery needs, for more than 10 years. In that time, he befriended a number of customers who came to see him as more than an acquaintance.
"Always asking about my son, even if he wasn't with me," one man said through tears."Good guy. Just trying to provide for his family." Investigators were able to identify Norris Jr. using security video from the store, arresting him 19 hours later and charging him with murder. While the motive remains unclear, as police stay tight-lipped, witnesses say it wasn't worth the trouble, since they believe Norris Jr. was trying to steal something."He lost his life over a 25 cent piece of candy and left a family behind," said a woman named Carol.
Several of the women in attendance Friday said that he would stand in the doorway of the store to make sure they got to their cars safely. Just one of the many things he did every day that made him such a beloved community member.
