A robbery attempt turned into a homicide when a Telugu student was killed by a White man in the US.
As per reports, Vamsi Reddy of Warangal was doing MS at a reputed university in California. He was also working in a store for part time. When he was going home from work on Saturday night, a man reportedly tried to rob him off. As Vamsi tried to resist, the White man, believed by police to be under the influence of drugs, shot the young Telugu guy with a gun that he was carrying.
The perpetrator has escaped and police are currently searching for him. Doubts are being expressed that the killing might not be juts a robbery-turned-homicide but a racism-influenced crime.
After the unfortunate mass shooting that took place at a nightclub in Orlando last year, former US President Barack Obama delivered a touching speech and expressed his concern over the gun culture that is prevailed in the US. The laws however were not yet amended and the crimes continue to happen, taking innocent lives.
