The Hong Hung Asian Grocery store owner was rushed to hospital but died on Wednesday afternoon, police confirmed on Thursday. A note on the shop's roller door said it would be closed until further notice due to an unexpected family emergency. It didn't have to take a person to die for them actually try to push for this further," Ms Tran said. Since opening her restaurant 18 years ago, Ms Tran said the shopping strip has become a hub for crime and anti-social behaviour. The council will continue to lobby the state government for a sustained increase in police numbers, Ms Tachos said.
