A 75-year-old Guyanese immigrant was killed early Sunday morning when the driver of a US mail truck knocked him down on a Queens, New York Street.
Shakoor Khan
According to media reports Shakoor Khan, 75, was on his way home from work.
He died from injuries he suffered when the postal service tractor rig clipped him in the crosswalk at Rockaway and Farmers Boulevards in Jamaica, New York.
The reports said detectives were reviewing surveillance videos from nearby businesses, in search of clues to identify the truck and driver involved in the accident.
Khan, who worked as a security guard at JF Kennedy Airport, had just finished his shift and was walking to catch a bus home when he was struck down, his family said.
“It is our custom to give our loved ones a hug and a kiss in case we don’t see them again,” said Khan’s brother-in-law, Abdul Karimbaksh, 48.
“I saw him last Friday and gave him a hug and a kiss.”
my sympathy goes out to the families of this man and i am confident the police will solve this matter, the driver of that fatal truck will be prosecuted if found

I know you were just kidding!! Oh my god its 2 am and you make me laugh albouystown gyal, thanks for getting me ready for my work day!!
My sympaties to this man’s family. However, I have to wonder why a 75 year-old man is employed as a security guard at JFK international airport. This gentleman should have been retired, enjoying his golden years instead of having to catch a bus to get home from work.
my gt people really humorous and funny lol
My condolences to the family, and may he rest in peace.
My heart goes out to this man…my dad is also his age. May his soul rest in peace.

STONE P, you have hit the ball for a huge six! nobody living in north america is so poor that their parents, grandparents, or anyone belonging to them, should, at the age of 75!!! be toiling for a living!! even worse, having to use public transportation! poor, very poor people in beautiful guyana, look after their loved ones a lot better!! unless this old man was on his own, he is in a better place now.
