In a heartbreaking incident, Dasari Gopikrishna, a 32-year-old man from India, was fatally shot during a robbery at a Pleasant Grove, Dallas convenience store. The tragic event unfolded on June 21 at a gas station where he worked.

Gopikrishna was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on Saturday. The young man, who hailed from Yajali village in Andhra Pradesh's Bapatla district, had been in the US for less than a year.

India's Consul General in Houston, D C Manjunath, visiting Dallas for a Yoga Day event, confirmed the incident and said it was unrelated to another shooting in Arkansas. He expressed his condolences and stated that the consulate, along with Indian associations, is helping facilitate Gopikrishna's body's repatriation to India.
