The suspect, Adam Purinton, 51, made his first appearance in court Monday via video link. The two had come to the U.S. from India to study, and they worked as engineers at GPS-maker Garmin. After the shooting, Purinton, who is white, drove 70 miles east to an Applebee's restaurant in Clinton, Mo., where he made the shocking admission to a bartender. Grillot said he had to do something because there were families and children in the bar when the gunfire erupted. He described the killing of Kuchibhotla, his friend and co-worker, as “a senseless crime,” the Kansas City Star reported.
