A December morning in a South Plainfield condominium ended in triple homicide. On November 27, 2023, officers responded to reports of gunfire around 9:00 A.M. and found 38-year-old Yashkumar Brahmbhatt with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later died. Inside the same residence on Coppola Drive, 72-year-old Dilipkumar Brahmbhatt and 72-year-old Bindu Brahmbhatt were pronounced dead from gunshot wounds.

Investigators say the killings were not random and there was no ongoing threat to the public. A 23-year-old relative who lived in the home, Om Brahmbhatt, was present when police arrived, taken into custody without incident, and charged with three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of second-degree unlawful weapons possession. Police reports say he confessed, stating he shot his grandparents while they slept and then shot his uncle multiple times, using a handgun bought online. Yashkumar is survived by a wife and a 4-year-old son.
