The owner of El Sendero met with his co-worker at the hospital Thursday who is recovering, talking and trying to keep strong.
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Police are searching for a masked man with a gun who set off an alarm at a local food mart on the northeast side Wednesday night.
The shooting took place at the 12100 block of El Sendero at 10:24 p.m.
Vikas Gohil, owner of El Sendero Food Mart, shared surveillance video of the incident where his 29-year-old employee was shot and rushed to the hospital.
In the footage, a masked and hooded man is seen entering the store, briskly roaming around before approaching the register and whipping out a gun on the clerk. Gohil noted his co-worker may not have understood the gunman’s demands due to his limited proficiency in speaking English.
“My employee said remove your mask. That guy never listened to him and he asked about the money,” Gohil said. “The guy pulled a gun and shot him. The bullet goes through outside toward the backside. That’s why he’s safe now. Otherwise, he getting problem.”
Gohil visited his co-worker at the hospital where he’s recovering, talking and trying to keep strong.
“He’s always a happy guy. He made my customers very happy,” Gohil said.
Justin May, owner of Lit Gardens, a cannabis store next door, is horrified by what happened.
“I just hope he gets better,” May said.
He’s invested in security, which monitors the entire lot.
“Little expensive but I have no problem to keep it safer,” May said.
Gohil believes the gunman should be caught and punished.
“I’m going to pray for him also, bottom of my heart,” Gohil said.
Police are still searching for the suspected shooter.
