A domestic dispute in the Atlanta area ended in multiple homicides early January 23, 2026. Authorities say 37-year-old Nidhi Chander was shot and killed inside a home on Brook Ivy Court in Lawrenceville. Three other adults — Meemu Dogra, Vijay Kumar’s wife; Harish Chander, 38; and Gourav Cumar, 33 — were also found dead from gunshot wounds at the scene.

The couple traveled with their 12-year-old child to the Lawrenceville home where Nidhi and Harish Chander lived with another relative and two younger children, ages seven and ten. The three children hid in a closet during the shooting; the eldest child called 911. Gwinnett County police arrived about 2:30 a.m. and later arrested Vijay Kumar a short distance from the house. He was charged with multiple counts including malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and cruelty to children.

The motive and the precise sequence of events remain under investigation. Does anyone have information about the households involved or what led up to that night?
