Ramesh Kumar was the third Indian American to be killed over a 24-hour period.
Ramesh Kumar, a 32-year-old Indian American physician, was found shot dead in the passenger seat of his car on a highway near Detroit in Michigan on Thursday.
He was a research fellow at Henry Ford Hospital’s Vattikutti Urology Institute.
Kumar was the third Indian American to be in killed over a 24-hour period, beginning Wednesday night. A tech executive and his wife were killed in San Jose on Wednesday night by the ex-boyfriend of their daughter at their home on Wednesday night.
Police found Kumar’s body after his father reported that his son, who left for the hospital on Thursday morning, hadn’t reached work.
He is the son of Dr. Narendra Kumar, a former President of American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI).
An autopsy has been conducted on Kumar’s boty. Police are yet to reveal the motive behind the murder.
Local Indian American news sites quoted Narendra Kumar as saying that the killing was not racially motivated.
A relative of the Kumars from Alappuzha, in Kerala, told the local Malayalam media that the family was informed of Kumar’s death on Friday morning.
According to reports, a colleague at the urology department notified Narendra Kumar that his son had not showed up for work. The father tried to reach the son on phone and sent several text messages. After getting no response from his son, Narendra Kumar reportedly drove to his apartment, which was found empty.
This prompted Narendra Kumar to lodge a complaint with the police. The police apparently asked him to wait as he was missing only for a few hours.
Hours later, after he didn’t get any response from his son, Narendra Kumar once again approached the police, who conducted a search operation that found Kumar shot dead in the passenger seat of his car that was parked on the highway in Michigan. Kumar’s body was identified and the police informed the parents.
Kumar’s family has confirmed that his funeral will be held on Monday. A prayer service will be held at the family’s residence in Freeland, MI, on Sunday.
According to his father’s personal website, Ramesh Kumar graduated from Cranbrook-Kingswood High School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and attened Boston University. He earned his medical degree from Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kochi, India.
Kumar had a sibling, Sarada.

I am surprised that the comments are not screened. Else, we will not see derogatory and offensive comments posted. May I request the editorial board to stop posting hateful comments and respect the civility of normal readers?
I just happened to see this, as I was reading about a lovely pediatrician here in Austin that was shot also by a pediatrician who had terminal cancer. No one knows why he did it exactly. JUST like in this case. No one knows the why. Who is left hurting here are all those who knew & loved this man, and the effect will be that many now will never have the opportunity to know him or benefit by the services he provides. What a sad sad needless loss. May God expose anyone who was involved, and may He comfort those close to this young man to bring healing to their hearts. He is close to the brokenhearted.
I can see there are a few offensive comments, none other than that radical Islamic terrorist people who strap bombs around their own children’s
Without any logic, they’re spreading fake propaganda & non-sense with their fake names.
All Muslims should be shot dead on their heads & throw their bodies deep into the oceans like their father’s Osama Bin Laden.
Very sad. Condolences to the family members.
what comes around, goes around. what you do in Kashmir, Nagaland, Aasaam, will happen back to you.
Prayers for the departed soul.
Hey asshole. If you don’t know what to say then just FUCK up you god damn prick. Alex Jones? That’s your name? Are you a Paki pretending to be an American? Yeah, your promotion of Islamic extremism will come back to bite you in the ass.
Hindus MURDER Christians, Muslims & anything that is/are non-Hindu, they even kill each other as different sect rivalry still exists strongly!! It’s a known fact, that is NEVER reported by western fake media as India will be used by western powers to counter attack China. So, whatever ruthless crackdown used by the Indian army goes unreported. Culturally women get treated like garbage in India. Hell they even have terrorists mobs that go around and kill people just for eating Hamburgers. True facts. Many degrees by Indian professionals here in America are Fake (2018 US Money Line, Research). Whoever KILLED this Doctor, should be hunted & prosecuted to the fullest !!!
Alex u r a immature person with no consciousness u have really poor upbringing when family is grieving u r talking about a family moved out of India more than 50 years. Learn to grow up . Your forefathers came.from another country also.
America is a nice country except for a few assholes like you.
Hey Alex Jones, you are an utterly horrible and a disgusting person. Except for paying your condolences for the family, you are politicising this entire matter. You should be ashamed of yourself and I hope that you get that mind-fullness in life to understand the loss of a loved one. I don’t care who you are, you must be anyone, but you should be thinking that whatever you say will come to bite you in your ass one day. So, please don’t say anything that might hurt someone or might convey a wrong message to people from some other community.
All the muslim conquests and mass beheadings over the centuries will then ? come home to roost ?
If he is a right wing Hindu I have no sympathy for him. They are big supporters of right wing Zionists, white supremacists and Evangelicals due to their insane Islamaphobia.
I’ve heard them talk on boards about how Swedish racists are great and supported the Muslim ban. Did they think they would escape it?
Plus, are they in a position to preach about hate crimes with how they lynch Muslims over beef and love marriage to Hindu? I
you are surely a madarsachaap fanatic rascal….
shame on you and your types
You mandirchaaps fanatical rascals are the filthiest of them all. Madarachaaps kicked your black asses good. Shame on you and your types, you filthy skin bleaching mandirchaap.
nobody needs your sympathy, a$$h0le GSR
death is not the end for a hindu. Prayers for the departed.
They should throw the Muslims Out of Sweden…The radicals that is…are you even Partially aware of their crimes…same here in the USA,,,we freely let these Jihad assholes in, then they preach violence against the very country the live in…Screw You and Your support of the Radical Muslims
sad that too a doctor. RIP
Prove it was done by a white person? They don’t even know what the motive was. Even if it was done by a white person, it’s not terror unless it was done with a particular sort of agenda or motive. It’s bad, but it’s not terror.
Most of these shootings of brown skinned men under dubious circumstances have been shown to have been done by white nationalists wishing to “exterminate the muds”, killing one at a time. There are several other white nationalists who believe that “a white man killing a sh!tsk!n in Trump’s America means there’s no jail”.
These are Trump voters’ words, not mine.

All shitskins in America should be terminated and only fair skinned Caucasian looking Indians willing to accept christianity and the american way of life fully should only be allowed to enter, all u nerdy brownies spoil the whole vibe of beautiful country by being unwelcomed guests and stealing jobs meant for white people, This is what u deserve this is wat u should get in the near future as well. F U Hindu curryskin Muthafakas
what is terror? anyone whose life is in danger is terrified by a terrorisist.
one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist.
america was the first terror, genocide against native Indians.
wrong.. don’t forget what the British did to India and other countries, and Holland before that.. France.. all had “colonies” around the world.
Strange story, but which sources had the quote from father saying it was a hate crime? This article is the most detailed that I could find. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nri/us-canada-news/indian-american-doctor-shot-dead-in-michigan/articleshow/58568960.cms In it the quote is that he was sure it was not a hate crime. On top of that, it sure looks like a professional hit rather than random racially motivated murder in which a man ends up dead in his own passenger seat.
Radical WHITE terror!
Was it done by a white nationalist? I bet it was. CULL WHITE AMERICANS IN INDIA!!
I haven’t seen a white american in india, who is so vulnerable for a long long time. I guess you meant one of those natives who converted to chirstianity. you want to turn this world to a pool of blood?
I want to spill some white blood. Whites spill the blood of black people, brown people, Asian people, etc. ALL THE TIME every day. White people never get killed by non-whites as much as they should. They never pay for their crimes.
I’m hoping the idea here is to *reduce* violence, friend!
The Jews will bring a final solution to your race, and the quicker the better. Your evil race has been reduced from being 30% of the world’s population in 1914, to being barely 7%. And its all your own fault, two world wars, feminism, etc. The Jews just helped along the process and they remember very well what you did to them in the past. Hope whites and Muslims kill each other and then we can have safety.
you need help, brother. you sound like Trump. I can’t help (or even really understand what you wrote there). But please try Peace , it’s all we can do to make the world a better place.
Tell your alt right buddies to think about it. In the meantime, happy opioid crisis.
Reduce violence by reducing the evil race, the white one.
somebody wasn’t introduced to Gandhijis teachings when he was a little Kartak growing up in India. If he were, then he would understand how Gandhi brought down the mighty British empire with his satyagraha, and how MLK Jr did the same thing in America, by following Gandhi’s teachings..
