A domestic dispute on January 23, 2026, ended in a quadruple homicide in a Lawrenceville, Georgia neighborhood. Meemu Dogra, 43, an Indian national, was among four adults found shot dead inside a relative’s home on Brook Ivy Court after an argument between Dogra and her husband, 51-year-old Vijay Kumar, at their Atlanta residence. The other victims named were Gourav Cumar, 33, Nidhi Chander, 37, and Harish Chander, 38.
Dogra had gone to the relative’s home with the couple’s 12-year-old child; Kumar also arrived and the violence continued there. Three children, ages 7, 10, and 12, hid in a closet and were physically unharmed; one of them called 911 at about 2:30 a.m. Police later found Kumar in a wooded area nearby and arrested him. He is being held without bond and has been charged with multiple counts including malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and child cruelty.
The Consulate General of India in Atlanta has offered condolences and assistance to the family. What additional details about the victims or that night might help clarify how this dispute escalated?
