The deceased, Azizul Talukder, 40, hails from Raipura in Narsingdi. His two sons and a daughter live with their mother in Bangladesh.
His younger brother Masud Talukder said Azizul and he ran a vegetables shop at Tabida Sara in Abha, Khamis Mushayt.
Masud said a Saudi citizen came to their shop around 10 am on Friday and asked for some vegetables and fruits, and tried to leave the shop without paying.
“When my brother asked for money and stopped him from leaving, he got furious. He left the shop and returned a little while later and shot my brother five times with a pistol,” Masud said.
"My brother died on the spot," he added.
