Who was Shalini Thakur? Sacramento woman shot and killed by Rohit Rohit outside Panera; GoFundMe launched for family
Shalini Thakur has been identified as the victim of the shooting outside Panera in Sacramento where a woman was slain by one Rohit Rohit.
Shalini Thakur, a 38-year-old woman, was shot and killed outside a Panera in Sacramento, California. The shooter was her longtime stalker, Rohit Rohit, who later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound during a standoff with police. Shalini was getting dropped off at work when Rohit approached her and confronted her, despite her attempts to flee.
After she fell to the ground, Rohit shot her in the head at close range. Shalini had a restraining order against Rohit, which documented a year of stalking, harassment, and threats. The Sacramento County coroner confirmed the victim's identity. Shalini's mother, Sudesh Kumari, believed the system had failed her daughter, as she had repeatedly called the police.
Rohit had tampered with Shalini's vehicle, installed a tracking device, and even tried to coerce her into marriage. GoFundMe has been launched to support Shalini's family during their time of grief.
