26-year-old Sharath Koppu was killed after unknown persons opened fire at a restaurant in Kansas City. Koppu hailed from Telangana and was studying at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He was rushed to the nearest hospital but succumbed to injuries.
"My cousin (Sharath Koppu) moved to the USA in January this year, after he received a full scholarship to study at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Last night, we got to know that he was brutally killed by gunshots fired by unknown people around 8 pm (USA time). This is a very sad day for all of us," said the victim's cousin, Sandeep Vemulakonda.
Another techie from India was killed in an attack that took place in Kansas, United States last February.

Srinivas used to meet his friends customarily at Kansas's Austin's Bar and Grill where the tragic incident occurred on February 22, 2017.
