Indian-origin woman shot dead in California by alleged stalker from India
A 38-year-old Indian-origin woman was shot dead outside a restaurant at a shopping centre in Sacramento, California, allegedly by a 22-year-old Indian national who had been stalking and harassing her for months, according to the US Department of Homeland Security.
The incident took place on September 8 when the man, identified as Rohit, approached Shalini Thakur near her car. When she tried to flee, he allegedly chased her, pulled out a gun and shot her multiple times, the DHS said on Friday.
He then allegedly shot Thakur in the head at close range after she had fallen to the ground before fleeing the scene in his vehicle.
