Pruthvi Raj Kandepi, a 25-year-old financial consultant from Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh, was killed on September 6, 2018, in a shooting at the Fifth Third Bank headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was one of three people who died when a 29-year-old gunman, Omar Enrique Santa Perez of North Bend, Ohio, opened fire inside the bank; two other victims, Luis Felipe Calderon, 48, and Richard Newcomer, 64, were also killed. Five people in total were shot, with some sustaining multiple injuries.

Santa Perez carried a pistol and reportedly had more than 200 rounds of ammunition. He began shooting in a loading dock area before moving into the lobby. Police responded to a 911 call about an active shooter, engaged Santa Perez in a shootout and shot him multiple times at the scene. Investigators reported no known connection between Santa Perez and the victims, and no additional suspects were identified. Kandepi’s body was repatriated to India and his funeral was held in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh.

Does anyone have information about Kandepi’s life in Cincinnati or who might have known him there that could shed light on his last day?
