Kuchibhotla murder: Accused US Navy veteran pleads not guilty
An Indian engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla was killed in a racially motivated hate crime at a bar in Kansas city earlier this year and a former US Navy veteran was arrested.
An Indian engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla was killed in a racially motivated hate crime at a bar in Kansas city earlier this year and a former US Navy veteran was arrested.
Adam Purinton was first-degree murder in the February shooting that killed Srinivas Kuchibhotla and two counts of attempted first-degree murder for injuring two others - another Indian Alok Madasani and American man Ian Grillot.
Kuchibhotla from Hyderabad and his colleague Madasani from Warangal in Telangana were working as aviation programme managers at an MNC.
However, the former US Navy veteran has now pleaded not guilty and his next hearing is scheduled for May 8. According to the reports, Purington targeted Kuchibhotla and another Indian man because of their race or ethnicity and got into an argument with them, hurling racial slurs - “get out of my country” and “terrorist” before shooting them.
After the shooting, he left the bar and was arrested as he allegedly told a bartender he shot the victims.
