AirTag-Tracked Stalker Kills Sacramento Woman Outside Panera Bread

A 38-year-old Shalini Thakur was shot and killed outside a Panera Bread in Sacramento by 22-year-old Rohit Rohit, who police say stalked her for months and allegedly used an Apple AirTag to track her, even entering her home with a key. Thakur had obtained a restraining order in May, which Rohit allegedly violated in July and which authorities never located him after. Rohit died by suicide after the shooting; his immigration status was unclear, though he had entered the U.S. from India in 2023 and was reportedly released by Border Patrol. Thakur’s family says warnings to law enforcement went unheeded despite Thakur repeatedly seeking help.
