Satyan Dave, a father-of-two from Hendon, London, was gunned down at about 5am on Thursday near the Port of Oakland in California
A decorated former British soldier has been shot dead as he returned to his ship after a night out in America.
Satyan Dave, from Hendon, London, was gunned down at about 5am on Thursday near the Port of Oakland in California.
The 49-year-old father-of-two had only hours earlier docked in the city aboard a container ship that had travelled close to Somalia in seas plagued by pirates. Authorities said Dave, who used to run his own security business, was a contract employee for a shipping company with offices in Oakland.
It was not clear what kind of work he did, but it may have involved some kind of security position, a relative said. The shipping company declined to comment.
