It is still unclear what motivated Ji Min Sha, 22, to attack his roommate, Varun Manish Chheda, 20. During an initial hearing last week, Sha told journalists “I was blackmailed” before entering a courtroom at the Tippecanoe County Jail.
During a hearing Thursday, the Tippecanoe County Prosecutor’s Office formally charged Ji Min Sha, 22, with the killing of Varun Manish Chheda, 20, a senior from Indianapolis, who was in his third year of college and was graduating early.Sha, a junior cybersecurity major and international student from South Korea, called 911 around 12:44 a.m. Oct. 5 to alert police about Chheda’s death.
There was “blood spatter on the wall, a pool of blood on the floor and a folding knife on the floor,” according to the document. It is still unclear what motivated Sha to attack Chheda. During an initial hearing last week, Sha told journalists “I was blackmailed” before entering a courtroom at the Tippecanoe County Jail, where he was being held.Purdue University Police Chief Lesley Wiete called the gruesome attack “unprovoked and senseless” at a news conference hours after the killing.
Chheda was gaming and talking with friends online when they suddenly heard screams on the call, which they believed to be the attack, Arunabh Sinha, a childhood friend of Chheda’s, told NBC News. Sinha wasn’t playing with his friends that night, but they told him they heard the attack and didn’t know what happened. They woke up Wednesday morning to news of Chheda’s death.
