Indian Origin Man Gaurav Chopra Kills Parents Grand Mother In Texas Us Caught By Police After Dramatic Chase

Police chased Chopra's vehicle, but the pursuit ended in a crash when his car struck two people, who were also hospitalised.

The three people killed in the shooting were identified as Chopra's father, Sweeta Ram (56), mother, Kamlesh Rani (46), and grandmother, Minder Kaur (76).

Chopra was formally charged on June 18 on charges of capital murder of multiple persons and attempted murder. Bond was not set for those charges. He also faces a charge of evading arrest, for which his bond was set at $250,000, the report said.

All three victims died from gunshot wounds to the head, Hidalgo County Sheriff Eddie Guerra said.

Police said they had not received any previous complaints from the Chopra household. Chopra is a student at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. The university said it is cooperating with investigators but could not provide further details about the case.

Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the killings. When asked whether Chopra was cooperating with investigators, Guerra said the suspect had made allegations that were “not accurate.”
