On May 3, 2017, Raynah Prabhu, 53, and her husband Naren Prabhu, 54, were shot and killed in their San Jose home during a violent confrontation. The attack was allegedly carried out by Mirza Tatlic, identified as the ex-boyfriend of the Prabhus’ daughter; Tatlic reportedly had a history of domestic violence and mental illness, and the daughter had obtained a restraining order against him.

Their 20-year-old son called police that night, saying his parents had been shot and that a younger brother remained inside. Officers found Naren dead in the doorway and later located Raynah’s body inside the house. Tatlic was using the couple’s 13-year-old son as a human shield but released him unharmed. Negotiators engaged Tatlic, who then pointed a handgun at officers; Officer Jacob Morris fired at least one round, killing Tatlic.

Multiple agencies participated in the probe, including the county district attorney’s office, the police homicide and internal affairs units, the City Attorney’s Office, and the Office of the Independent Police Auditor. Who has additional information about the Prabhu family, Tatlic’s prior threats, or the events that night?
