Deadly Panera Bread shooting, Highway 50 standoff in Sacramento - KCRA

Key Points:

• A 22-year-old man named Rohit Rohit fatally shot a 38-year-old woman in a Panera Bread parking lot in Sacramento after stalking her for months, then died by suicide during a standoff with law enforcement on Highway 50.
• The woman had discovered an Apple AirTag on her car in January, leading to months of harassment including deflating her tires, following her to work, and unlawfully entering her home with a copied key.
• Despite initially declining to press charges, the woman eventually obtained a restraining order in May after continued stalking, which Rohit violated by leaving grocery items at her door in late July.
• After the shooting, witnesses provided the suspect's vehicle license plate, enabling deputies to quickly locate Rohit, who refused to exit his car during a police standoff before shooting himself.
• This incident was the second major event on Highway 50 that day, which also saw a separate fatal police shooting and a pedestrian death, leading to multiple highway closures.
