Mother says daughter sought restraining orders before being killed by stalker
Investigators said the suspect chased Thakur outside the restaurant after months of alleged stalking and harassment before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
- On Thursday, 22-year-old Rohit Rohit shot and killed Shalini Thakur outside a Panera Bread near Howe and Northrop avenues in California. Deputies located him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on eastbound Highway 50 using the FLOCK camera system.
- Court records reveal Thakur endured nearly a year of escalating stalking before her death. Despite obtaining a May restraining order, the harassment continued with an alleged July violation in which Rohit left items outside her home.
- Kumari, the victim's mother, spoke with her daughter at 1:58 p.m., nearly an hour before the shooting. She sent unanswered WhatsApp messages including "Please call me" as concern grew.
- Thakur's funeral service is scheduled for Monday, with family and friends launching a GoFundMe campaign to support those left behind. Kumari believes the system failed to protect her daughter from escalating harassment.
- Kumari shared videos of Thakur performing a Hindu dance to preserve memories of her daughter's joy and kindness. "I am alone in this world," Kumari told sister station KCRA, noting her husband died two years ago.
