Warangal: A 26-year-old man from Telangana’s Warangal district was allegedly shot dead in California in the United State, according to information reaching the southern Indian state.
Mamidala Vamshi Chander Reddy was reportedly shot dead at Milpitas in Santa Clara county of California by a man suspected to be a carjacker. The victim’s father Sanjeeva Reddy told the Indian media on February 12 that the incident occurred the previous evening when his son was returning after completing part-time shift at a local store.
“Vamshi’s friends called me on Saturday saying my son is missing and that an incident has taken place wherein a person was shot at. They later informed me that it was Vamshi who got killed,” Reddy said.
Vamshi had gone to California in 2013 and completed his MS from Silicon Valley University. He recently took up the part-time job while looking for a job in the software industry.
The senior Reddy said Vamshi spoke to him over phone just two days back, ndtv.com reported.
“He was worried about finding a software job there. I asked him to come back and find a job here. We wanted to get him married. He said he would come back home soon but we did not expect such a thing to happen to him,” Reddy added.
He appealed to Telangana and central governments to bring back Vamshi’s body without delay.
