Overview

• Santa Clara police said they obtained a search warrant to determine whether a LinkedIn post alleging racial discrimination was authored by Mohammed Nizamuddin and to collect related evidence.
• Officers responding to a Sept. 3 911 call reported finding Nizamuddin attacking a roommate with a knife and firing four rounds; two knives were recovered and the injured roommate remains hospitalized.
• Investigators described deteriorating relations in the residence, citing July property damage and an Aug. 29 eviction hearing where the wounded roommate testified, which they believe preceded the attack.
• Nizamuddin’s family disputes the account, saying he sought help and had recently alleged harassment and wage fraud online, and they are pressing for an impartial probe and repatriation of his remains.
• The Indian consulate in San Francisco says it is assisting the family and coordinating with local authorities, and no body-camera footage or final findings have been made public.
