76-year-old NRI Pravin Raojibhai Patel was gunned down by a man who wanted to book a room at his hotel.
According to a report from Sheffield Police chief Ricky Terry, 76-year-old Patel was shot by
34-year-old William Jeremy Moore after the latter had come to the motel and tried to book a room.
An altercation occurred between the two men, which was when “Mr. Moore pulled a handgun and shot Mr. Patel,”
“Mr. Moore was quickly apprehended by Sheffield Police on 13th Avenue when he was trying to break into an abandoned house. When searching Mr. Moore, the murder weapon was found in his possession.”
Moore is being held in the Sheffield City Jail until a warrant is issued and will then be transported to the Colbert County Jail.
Patel is survived by his wife, Renukaben Patel, and children, Nital Patel (Sandeep) and Nirmal Patel (Jeenal).
He also has three brothers, Harshad, Indravaden and Harendra Patel, a sister, Manju Patel, and grandchildren Jaiden, Myya, Leeya and Ariyana Patel.
On an online condolence page, president of the Colbert County Tourism Office Susann Hamlin wrote: “Mr. Patel was such a nice, warm gentleman. I knew him for many years as he owned one of the motels in our area.
“Such a pleasant and sweet man with a lovely wife and children. I am so sad for the family and also glad that I had the privilege to know him.”
