Tong Van Le, 44,owner of Nasser Market in Bernal Heights and father of two, was murdered at his Navato home on Saturday. The widely assumed reason, according to SFPD, is because he testified against two suspects who robbed his store a month earlier. Police think that Le may have been followed home from his store to his house by the assailant(s). No arrests have been made.

The [Chronicle] article calls Joseph Smooke, who touts an alternative proposal, as a "community leader."
