A 38-year-old woman of Indian origin, Shalini Thakur, was fatally shot outside a Sacramento restaurant on September 8. Authorities identified the suspect as 22-year-old Rohit, an undocumented immigrant from India who entered the U.S. in 2023. Investigations revealed a long history of harassment, including the use of an Apple AirTag to track the victim, unauthorized entry into her home, and multiple violations of a restraining order issued in May. On the day of the incident, the suspect confronted the victim at a shopping center, pursued her, and fired multiple shots before killing himself during a police standoff on Highway 50. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the suspect had been released into the country after an initial border apprehension, sparking criticism regarding immigration policies. The victim had previously sought legal protection against the suspect's persistent stalking behavior.
