Anil Thakur, 31, was one of five people killed on April 28, 2000, in a racially motivated shooting spree in the Pittsburgh area carried out by Richard Scott Baumhammers. Thakur was shot and killed at a grocery store in Scott Township; the gunman then continued his attacks and was later arrested.

Investigators and the trial record show Baumhammers had a history of mental illness and had been treated for delusional disorder, and he was not taking his prescribed medication at the time of the shootings. His defense argued he lacked the capacity to distinguish right from wrong, but a jury rejected that claim and found him guilty. Baumhammers was sentenced to death on May 11, 2001.

The killings were widely discussed for their racial motive and the legal issues that followed. If anyone knew Anil Thakur or has information about the Scott Township grocery store shooting, please come forward.
