The deceased has been identified as Abhishek Sudhesh Bhat (25), son of Sudhesh Chand, who had been living in California for the past one and a half years. He was a resident of Kuvempunagar in Mysuru.

He moved to California after completing his BE from Vidya Vikas Institute of Engineering & Technology in Mysuru, and was studying at the California State University in San Bernardino. To fund his education, he worked part-time at a local hotel, where he was shot dead.

He is survived by his parents and younger brother.

The logistics for his parents and younger brother to travel to San Bernardino are being worked out,” the family source said.
