An Indian American couple was found dead in their home in Texas, and cops suspect the death to be murdered. Earlier, a 911 call was received where the address of the location was given, and as the cops arrived to the scene, Shanti Nakirekanti was found dead with a gunshot in her head, while her husband Sreenivas Nakirekanti was shot in his chest and he was lying in the bedroom, with a gun near him.

Reportedly, the couple's daughter was asleep when the shootings happened, and the cops are suspecting this as a case of murder-suicide and assured that there is no further danger to the residents of Telfair, Sugar Land and that they are investigating further.
