· KRGV (NBC 5)
Prosecutors are considering pursuing the death penalty for Gaurav Chopra, an Alton man charged with the murders of his parents and grandmother. Chopra pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including capital murder, during his arraignment on September 21. He was indicted on September 8. The case stems from a June 16 incident where police responded to a 911 call reporting that Chopra had shot his family members and fled. A judge has requested a status hearing to determine if the death penalty will be sought, scheduled for October 19 at 9 a.m. No motive has been revealed yet.
