London: A 51-year-old man accused of shooting and killing a Houston Community College student Saturday was arrested and charged with capital murder early Thursday.

Later in the day, an additional charge of unlawful carry of a weapon was filed against 51-year-old Bobby Singh Shah.

Shah allegedly shot and killed 21-year-old Muna Pandey during an aggravated robbery over the weekend. Her body was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds inside of an apartment and responding paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.

The Houston Police Department on Wednesday released a photograph of a person suspected in Pandey’s death taken on a surveillance camera at an apartment the day she was killed.

Shah was located and arrested Wednesday during a traffic stop in northwest Houston in coordination with Houston Police Department SWAT officers, according to the department.

No defence attorney was listed for Shah on Thursday morning.

A GoFundMe seeking to raise money to cover the costs of Pandey’s funeral, and transportation costs for her mother to travel to Houston from Nepal, had raised more than $15,000 Thursday.

Pandey moved to Houston in 2021 and attended Houston Community College, according to the fundraiser.
