Bahadur Singh, a 60-year-old resident of Benicia, California, tragically lost his life on March 8, 2022. Singh, the beloved owner of Rose Market, was fatally shot during a robbery at his store. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. when police responded to an alarm at the market. Upon arrival, officers found Singh suffering from a gunshot wound, and despite their efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The community was deeply affected by his death, as Singh was known for his kindness and generosity, often giving free candies and ice creams to children who visited his store.
The investigation into Singh's death led to the arrest of Nyzell Marquis Dubuisson, a 21-year-old man, who was apprehended on March 11, 2022. Dubuisson was charged with murder, conspiracy, and robbery in connection with the fatal shooting. Surveillance footage showed a man fleeing the scene, which helped authorities identify and locate Dubuisson. He was also wanted for numerous other burglaries and robberies in the region, making him a significant target for law enforcement.
Dubuisson's legal proceedings have been ongoing. He was arraigned in Solano County Superior Court, where he entered a not-guilty plea. The charges against him are severe, including first-degree murder with special circumstances, which could result in life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or even the death penalty if found guilty. The case has seen multiple court appearances, with a trial setting scheduled for August 26, 2024. Dubuisson remains in custody without bail at the Stanton Correctional Facility in Fairfield.
The death of Bahadur Singh has left a void in the Benicia community. Singh, who immigrated to the United States in the early 1990s, was a cherished member of the community. He was a proud father who ensured his sons received a proper education and was known for his dedication to his store and customers. The community continues to mourn his loss, remembering him as a therapist, friend, and brother to many. The ongoing legal battle seeks to bring justice for Singh and his family, with the community closely following the developments in the case.
