King County sheriff’s spokesperson Brandyn Hull said Sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call around 7 pm on April 24 at a town home off 129th Place Southeast. According to the report in the US media outlet, detectives found blood on the front window and a lone hollow point bullet in the street.
Shwetha Panyam (41) and Dhruva Kikkeri (14) died from gunshot injuries. Deaths of Panyam and Dhruva were classified as homicide, while Harshavardhana Kikkeri (44) died due to suicide, according to the medical examiner’s office.
