Nepali female student shot dead in United States

TEXAS – A 21-year-old Mina  Pandey community college student from Nepal was found shot to death in her apartment.

Police initially said staff at the Reserve at 63 Sixty Three apartment complex found Pandey’s body in her unit last Saturday after receiving an anonymous tip, which detectives said came from a male over the phone with no caller ID. In Shah’s charging documents, investigators said the victim was shot several times, including what they called an execution-style wound in the back of the head. That, combined with the fact that there were no signs of forced entry or theft, suggested she may have known her killer.

Authorities discovered Muna  Pandey’s body with multiple gunshot wounds around 5:35 pm on Monday,On Thursday, the Houston Police Department announced officers arrested 51-year-old Bobby Singh Shah during a traffic stop on the city’s northwest side the evening before. HPD said Shah was charged with capital murder for the death of Muna Pandey, whom Houston’s Nepalese community identified as a Nepal national learning to be a nurse in the U.S.
