VERNON, Conn. — A family is demanding justice after their son was killed in a hotel shooting last weekend in Vernon.
30-year-old Zeshan Chaudhry's family rallied outside of the Motel 6 located near the Hartford Turnpike Saturday afternoon. The family also held a memorial to pray, honor his memory and call for change so that what happened to Zeshan doesn’t happen to anyone else’s loved one.
"I need justice. My son does not deserve to die,” Zeshan’s father Nadeem Chaudhry said. The Chaudhrys own the hotel.
Nadeem told FOX61 News his son was an aspiring businessman who took care of his family and recently proposed to his girlfriend.
