Law enforcement officials in the United States have arrested the suspect behind the killing of an Indian student from Hyderabad in Dallas, Texas.
Authorities identified 23-year-old Richard Florez as the alleged shooter of 28-year-old Chandrashekar Pole, who was working a part-time job at a Fort Worth gas station on Eastchase Parkway last Friday night. Following the shooting, Florez fled the scene, fired at another vehicle about a mile away without causing injuries, and later crashed into a gate while attempting to enter a nearby residence. Police apprehended him shortly afterward and recovered a firearm from his vehicle.
“They also recovered a gun inside the vehicle at that scene… The suspect is currently in the hospital, but he has been booked for the homicide,” said Officer Brad Perez of the Fort Worth Police Department. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner confirmed Pole’s death at the scene.
Chandrashekar Pole had completed his BDS in Hyderabad and moved to the US two years ago to pursue an MS, which he finished six months ago. To support himself while searching for a job, he worked part-time at the gas station.
The Consulate General of India in Houston is in contact with Pole’s family to assist in repatriating his remains.
The incident has sparked concern among Indian-American communities and international students in the US, highlighting safety issues for students working part-time jobs, particularly during late hours. This case follows several recent incidents involving Indian students in the US, including shootings and unexplained deaths, raising further alarm over their safety.
