Murder Story

On March 18, 1997, Laxma G. Reddy committed a triple murder in Brookline, Massachusetts. He shot his wife, her 13-year-old daughter, and his father-in-law in their home. The victims were killed execution-style while they were in their beds.

Three days later, Reddy encountered law enforcement in Elko, Nevada. He was shot and killed by a sheriff's deputy after he pulled out a gun during a traffic stop. Prior to this encounter, police had been searching for him.

Friends reported that he had recently visited his family in Brookline but had not been seen for weeks following the murders. Reddy was originally from Andhrapradesh in India and moved to the United States to pursue his medical studies.
