It was pretty insensitive. Probably a lot of us in HP know this guy and he was alive less than 2 hours ago. This is very sad.

It is sad. I totally agree. It's also very scary. I don't think expressing the sentiments of people who may be scared away by this, is at all insensitive.
But I won't be so insensitive as to respond to any more of your comments out of concern for detracting from the thread.

Horrible. Just horrible.
A shooting on Coles at 9:50AM... robbery? Seems like an awful dangerous spot for a scumbag to do something like that. There are people all over the place that time of morning. Cops, kids included. I guess McNair locked down? GWB

He was one of the nicest men in downtown. I feel so badly for this family. I was just in there this morning to buy the papers. I'm stunned. My prayers are with them.

As always we should be diligent. This crime was horrible and maybe unpreventable but we have to keep our eyes open. In my experience criminals are stupid and often obvious in their behavior. If you see ANYTHING in your neighborhood that seems suspicious call the cops. It is amazing how many people go through their day oblivious to their surroundings. Protect yourself, protect your neighbors and do the right thing. All the news tells us that these types of crimes are on the rise. 50% rise in robberies on the NYC subways etc. You don't have to carry a gun or jump into a dangerous situation. It just takes a simple phonecall. 201-547-5477 is the number to the JCPD non-emergency number for those times your not sure but want to be safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with this man and his family.

That is horrible and I feel for the family. They were always extremly nice and my alternative to Christos for coffee & cigarettes. 9:50am?! 2 Blocks from the police station?? Half a block from McNair. WTF?! i passed it at about 15 minutes before it happened. Hope they find the scumbags.

I've always thought the blocks around McNair are a bit safer because McNair has multiple security cameras set up around the outside of the building. Hopefully they caught something useful.

I live 1/2 block away. This is crazy. The murder is an abomination but even a robbery makes no sense. Why rob a tiny convenience store in broad daylight in the morning when the register is at it's lowest? Could it be some thug felt "dissed" by the owner and returned to show him what a "man" he was?

He was a really sweet, gentle soul of a guy. I went in the Laundromat this morning when the cops brought his family in to talk to them. It was so incredibly awful.
Hope they get those sociopathic bastards. I guess they think they're big men for gunning down a nice old guy trying to make life better for his family. Freaking cowards.

Sad to hear this news. This was a random choice hit, the little run down candy stores are the first on the hit list. Where are you going to run to ?? Whether it was Downtown J.C. or else where it would not have mattered. These low lifes will go to where the money is, soon it will be any Mom & Pop money generating place of opportunity. The economic times are coming to terms with their neighboring environment. The Have Nots are filled with anger, upset that they are only able to ride in the bottom of the ship. They are not satisfied with just the purse they have to kill as well.

When the condo next to the scene of the murder had it's doors kicked in a couple of years ago the police had no interest in the schools tapes. The Captain said tapes like that are useless for identifying perps. The robbery victims had to fight for weeks to even get access to them, they were outraged at the PD's lack of follow through.

No kidding - although you cant expect the police to be everywhere at all times. It was only time before this happened - the longer we went without incident, the greater the chances of something bad happening.
Bottom line is times are tough - people are losing their jobs - and desperation produces bad choices/behavior. This renews my concerns of night time safety.

Here is the Channel 7 video (click link):
http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local&id=6626934 Here is the Jersey Journal: Store owner killed in robbery ID'd; 'he looked out for everybody,' shocked neighbor says by Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal Tuesday January 27, 2009, 12:10 PM Detectives investigate a fatal shooting at 120 Coles Street in Jersey City. Family members have identified the Coles Street deli owner who was shot to death this morning as Kirik Parikh. Residents in the Downtown neighborhood have expressed shock at his death, which was apparently during a robbery, authorities said. A source close to the investigation, who did not want to be named since he is not authorized to comment on the case, said Parikh was shot in the left side of the head with a semi-automatic gun at about 9:45 this morning. At about noon, staff from the Regional Medical Examiner's Office in Newark arrived at the storelocated at 120 Coles Street, and went inside with a stretcher. Robin Daniels said she was in the Laundromat across the street when the shooting occurred. "He was a neighborhood guy," Daniels said. "He looked out for everybody. It's just shocking. He was the kind of guy that when you bought a lottery tickey he said 'good luck.'" Zoima Moya said she rushed to the scene when she heard Parikh was shot; and was in the Laundromat when Parikh's family was brought in from the cold. members of the victim console each other outside the deli where owner Kirik Parikh was shot. "They were crying and upset," Moya said. "My sister called me and told me what happened and I came here because I know him from the neighborhood. This is very upsetting because this is a nice man, a nice family." Jose Roman, another neighbor, said "I'm shocked. He had a robbery just a couple of years ago." People inside a laundromat across the street from the deli watch as police investigate the crime scene. Family members of the victim console each other outside the deli where owner Kirik Parikh was shot. http://blog.nj.com
