Recently I reported on the Sudanese gangland violence in Omaha, Nebraska.  On Christmas, a Sudanese father of five was shot outside his home in Denver.  As of this writing the police have no motive or suspect in the shooting.

This is one more story about refugees escaping violence somewhere in the world and dying by violence in the US.

From the Huff Post Denver:

Youn Malual, a 43-year-old immigrant, was found shot to death late Christmas night in front of his home in Arapahoe County, Colorado.

Malual immigrated to the United States six years ago from Sudan to escape the civil war that threatened his family’s survival. “It’s a very tragic death,” said Gatwec Dengpathot, a Sudanese community organizer and friend, to the Denver Post. “He did not have any enemies. He was a family guy.”

Investigators are unsure of a motive and have no suspects, but do have several leads. Malual held two jobs to support his wife and five children, writes the Associated Press.  [Who will support the wife and children now?—ed]

“Over here, [it’s] supposed to be a safe haven for all the victim of wars, victim of everything across the world and then instead somebody coming to kill you in your own parking lot,” Dengpathot told 9News. “As someone that escaped all these atrocities trying to come to the U.S., the best country in the whole world, and then seeing some things like this happening to my fellow South Sudanese, it is bizarre.”

When I just went back to check old posts on Denver, I see that there has been lots of violence against refugees in Denver, some of it coming from American blacks.  Here and here are previous posts about crimes against refugees in Denver.
