Donations being accepted for family of two killed in Thursday homicide

Donations are being accepted on a GoFundMe page to help cover funeral costs for a father and daughter who died after being shot last week at the family’s Accomac Shore Stop, where they worked.

Fifty-six-year-old Pradipkumar Ratilal Patel, the store manager, died at the Lankford Highway scene. His daughter, 24-year-old Urmi Patel, was rushed to a Virginia Beach hospital and succumbed to her injuries a couple of days later. Donations will also help offset her medical care and give ongoing support to their survivors.

Navinchandra P Patel, a relative, organized the fundraiser. A funeral is scheduled for Thursday, March 27. There were no further details available at this time. The fundraiser is already about halfway to the $40,000 goal. Donations can be made at https://gofund.me/408f69ee…
