Sree Ranga Aravapalli was 54 when he was shot and killed inside his Plainsboro, New Jersey, home in the pre-dawn hours after returning from Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Surveillance footage shows Aravapalli winning about $10,000 at the casino the night of October 25, 2021, and two men were seen lingering near him as he cashed out. Toll records and video show a white BMW with a temporary Delaware plate following his car onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike and leaving at the same exit that led toward his cul-de-sac on Briardale Court.

A farm-stand camera recorded the same BMW close behind Aravapalli’s vehicle as they approached his neighborhood. Investigators say a man forced entry through a sliding glass door while Aravapalli was still downstairs; neighbors reported hearing gunshots and a car speeding away. Aravapalli was found with multiple gunshot wounds, rushed to a hospital, and pronounced dead. Authorities described the incident as an attempted robbery tied to his casino winnings.

Police traced the BMW to a Norristown address and linked 27-year-old Jekai Reid-John to the vehicle; officers recovered Dior B23 sneakers matching those seen in casino footage. Reid-John was arrested in Pennsylvania and charged with first-degree murder.

Did anyone in the area see either car or the men near Parx Casino or along the route between the casino and Plainsboro?
