A domestic dispute that began in Atlanta ended in a mass shooting in Lawrenceville in the early hours of January 23, 2026. Four adults were found dead inside a Brook Ivy Court home from gunshot wounds: 33-year-old Gourav Cumar, 43-year-old Meemu Dogra, 37-year-old Nidhi Chander, and 38-year-old Harish Chander. Cumar and the Chanders were relatives of Dogra and lived at the residence.

Investigators say the suspect, 51-year-old Vijay Kumar of Atlanta and Meemu Dogra’s husband, allegedly drove from Atlanta to the Lawrenceville home with their 12-year-old child after an argument. The child called 911 at about 2:30 a.m. Three children, including that 12-year-old and two relatives aged 7 and 10, were found physically unharmed, hiding in a closet. Kumar was located nearby and taken into custody without incident.

Authorities have labeled the killings domestic-related. Kumar faces multiple charges including four counts each of malice murder and felony murder, aggravated assault counts, and cruelty-to-children charges; he is being held without bond. Did anyone in the area know the victims or have information about the events leading up to that night?
