For as long as anyone can remember, Yowhannes "John" Tewelde has been the clerk at the Richmond Market in San Francisco.

 He works 7 days a week, raising his two daughters to be educated and accomplished. Less than a year ago Tewolde became a US Citizen. Just 4 months after that celebration, Tewolde underwent heart surgery, then returned to work at the earliest opportunity.

The 60-year-old clerk was beaten by a suspect trying to steal beer. It was the second time that day that the suspect tried to shoplift.

The owner says Tewolde tried to stop the thief,  but the suspect knocked Tewolde down, causing him to hit his head on the ground. He died after days in a coma.
