Sai Teja Nukarapu was 22 and a recent arrival from Khammam, Telangana, when he was killed while working in Milwaukee. He had moved to the U.S. in summer 2024 to pursue an MBA at Concordia University in Wisconsin and was living with a relative while working part time as a cashier at a store attached to a gas station on West Burleigh Street.

On the evening of November 29, 2024, after his shift ended he stayed briefly to cover the counter so a colleague could go pray. During that time robbers entered, demanded money, and he handed over the register funds. Despite complying, he was shot and killed; the attackers then fled. No suspects have been publicly identified and there are no reports of arrests.

Those who knew him remember a kind young man who kept in close contact with his mother, loved cricket, and had recently joined his sister in the U.S. to study. Can anyone with information about the robbery or the people involved please come forward?
