An Indian technology worker delivering pizza in Philadelphia was shot and killed this week in what his family describes as an ambush arranged through a fake online order, relatives said Friday.
The victim reportedly traveled to an address that did not correspond to a legitimate customer, where assailants opened fire before fleeing the scene.
Philadelphia homicide detectives are reviewing platform logs, surveillance footage and witness accounts to determine whether the killing was a targeted robbery or random violence.
Family members in India urged consular officials to expedite repatriation arrangements and keep them informed as U.S. authorities identify suspects.
The slaying has renewed concern among immigrant delivery workers who face late-night shifts in neighborhoods with limited security.
Police have not publicly named a motive or released detailed descriptions of the gunmen pending the ongoing investigation.
