City boy shot dead in US

A Hyderabadi student of the Oklahoma State University was shot dead at a convenience store in Oklahoma City in the United States on Sunday evening.

G. Prashant was a resident of Santoshnagar in the city. He had gone to study at the university just two months ago and was doing his MS.

Prashanth was reportedly shot dead during an armed robbery at SK Foods, a convenience store where he was working part-time at about 7 pm local time on Sunday night.

Police said they were investigating the death as a homicide as there was trauma to the body. It was unclear what led to the shooting.

His family was informed of his death by his friends at the university.

Prashant’s father, Mr G. Rajaiah, works in the state health department. A native of Suraram in Medak district, Prashant completed his B.Com from Badruka college.

Family sources said Prashant had left the city to study at the Oklahoma State University on January 25.
