Panera Shooting and Immigration Fallout | Sacramento News

A chilling case of stalking, legal delays, and tragic consequences unfolds as a man from India, who entered the U.S. illegally, fatally shot his victim—38-year-old Shalini Thakur—after months of escalating harassment that included tracking devices, tire deflation, and apartment intrusions. Despite Sheriff’s Office warnings and a restraining order she finally obtained in May, the suspect allegedly violated it by leaving groceries at her door before ambushing her at Panera Bread. His death by suicide during a police standoff adds a haunting twist, while her grieving mother accuses the system of failing to protect her daughter—and sparks renewed debate over California’s sanctuary laws.
