♦ A man identified as Satesh Deo Buddhu, 41, from Hartford, Connecticut and a contract employee at Food Lion, was shot in an alley way by “Go Burrito” on West Fisher Street in Downtown Salisbury around 1 a.m. Thursday morning. Sources at the scene allege the victim was bleeding badly from a neck wound in the throat area.
The Salisbury Police were dispatched to the area around “Go Burito” where shots were reported and after a brief search found the victim propping himself up against a white church van in the First United Methodist parking lot.
According to police sources Buddhu was standing in the alley behind “Go Burrito” when two Black males walked up on him and asked for money. When Buddhu told them he had none, they snatched the chain around his neck and shot him with a handgun.
Buddhu was transported by an emergency vehicle to Carolinas Medical Center for surgery. No official reports yet of the victim’s condition.
The Wells Fargo Lot by the “mural”, all along West Fisher Street quickly filled up with police vehicles. Investigators poured over the crime scene area looking for evidence, shell casings, and speaking with persons in the area.
The two robbers were described as Black males and wearing dark clothing.
