Suspect in 'execution-style' murder of woman, 21, caught after tipster recognizes him from 'sugar daddy' website: Court docs



A Texas man is accused of committing an "execution-style" murder of a 21-year-old nursing student in her apartment last month. A tipster told Houston police she knew the murder suspect from a "sugar daddy" website in 2012 and "instantly" recognized him, according to court documents.

After receiving an anonymous tip, police found the body of Muna Pandey — who had attended Houston Community College — in her Houston apartment August 26, according to prosecutors. Paramedics pronounced Pandey dead at the crime scene, according to a press release from the Houston Police Department. Pandey was from Nepal.

When police arrested Shah several days after Pandey's death, the suspect was still wearing the same blood-stained clothing seen on surveillance video when leaving the victim's apartment.

Investigators said Muna was shot three times in the torso and once “execution style" in the back of the head, according to court documents.

On August 28, the Houston Police Department shared a surveillance camera image of the murder suspect and requested the public's help in identifying the male.

Citing the criminal complaint, People magazine reported that a tipster informed Houston Police that she knew the murder suspect from a "sugar daddy" website in 2012 and "instantly" recognized him.

Houston Police said they arrested 51-year-old Bobby Singh Shah during a traffic stop on the night of August 28.

Shah was charged with capital murder and booked into the Harris County Jail.

According to the criminal complaint, a neighbor told investigators he heard "loud thumping" noises from Pandey's apartment on August 24.

Prosecutors highlighted that when police arrested Shah several days after Pandey's death, the suspect was still wearing the same blood-stained clothing seen on surveillance video when leaving the victim's apartment.

Officers also discovered a gun in Shah's car, according to prosecutors.

Citing court documents, KHOU said Pandey's friend told investigators she previously had been stalked, and he helped her install a motion-activated camera above the entrance to her apartment. Video from that camera reportedly shows Shah holding Pandey at gunpoint while she was holding a shoe box, a shopping bag, a black jacket, and a purse. He reportedly is seen on video pushing her inside and leaving an hour later while holding Pandey's purse. Authorities believe Shah killed her just before leaving, KHOU said.

Investigators did not make it clear whether Shah and Pandey had a pre-existing relationship.

Prosecutor Rebecca Marshall said, “I can only imagine what Muna’s mother is going through being halfway across the world, so I wanted them to know what would happen in court, what they could expect."

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to financially assist Pandey's mother, Anita, to fly from Nepal to Houston to "say goodbye to her only child and give Muna the farewell she deserves."

At the time of publication, the crowdfunding campaign had raised more than $36,000.

Shah is being held without bond, according to online court records of the Harris County District Clerk's Office.

Bet you can't guess what detail the mainstream media keeps omitting in the Laken Riley case



A 22-year-old student was murdered on her University of Georgia campus by a 26-year-old illegal immigrant, and the mainstream media is showing its true colors.

The student, Laken Riley, was going for a morning jog when Jose Antonio Ibarra allegedly kidnapped and killed her.

However, in stories published on the tragedy from publications like the Associated Press, the reporters neglect to add in a very important detail: the alleged murderer is an illegal immigrant, and he already had a criminal history here in the United States.

According to ICE, Ibarra was caught crossing illegally into El Paso in September 2022 and was released into the United States via parole.

Nearly a year later, New York police arrested him for acting in a manner to injure a child less than age 17, and, yet again, he was released.

“I’m sure that it was just, you know, an oversight,” Sara Gonzales mocks, “just a little oopsy. Surely, they wrote a follow-up that highlighted the glaring omission that this man should not have even been in this country in the first place.”

“You have to imagine — surely, it’s incompetence rather than a deliberate act of deception,” she adds sarcastically.

The Associated Press did write a follow-up on the story in which it blamed toxic masculinity for her death rather than the allowance of a criminal into the United States.

The author then used the death of Mollie Tibbetts as another example of toxic masculinity but neglected to mention Tibbetts was also brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant.

“Both women were murdered by illegal immigrants, but that doesn’t fit the narrative. That’s not good for optics,” Gonzales says.

Laken Riley SHOULD be alive, but her death can't be fully pinned on the border crisis



Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student at the University of Georgia — but now she is a victim of a heinous crime.

Riley was going for a run on campus this past Thursday when a Venezuelan illegal immigrant allegedly kidnapped and killed her. The 26-year-old immigrant, Joe Antonio Ibarra, beat her so brutally that he disfigured her skull.

Ibarra had reportedly crossed into the U.S. illegally near El Paso in September 2022, and the border patrol caught him, gave him a ticket, and released him into the U.S.

He was then arrested in New York and was charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 as well as with a motor vehicle license violation.

It’s an undeniably horrific tragedy, but the response from the press has also been grotesque.

In a CNN report, they claimed that “there’s little evidence linking illegal immigration and crime after the Venezuelan migrant was charged in connection with murder of the 22-year-old Georgia nursing student.”

Glenn Beck is disgusted by the response, but they’re not entirely wrong.

“It’s not entirely true. It is the administration’s new regulations and guidelines that are letting all of these people in. We’re having all of these problems because of the new guidelines,” Glenn explains.

“That’s what’s causing crime. We’re not enforcing our laws at the border, and then we’re not enforcing our laws in our cities. Our government isn’t enforcing the law, our DA’s aren’t enforcing the law, and that’s why you have criminals going crazy,” he adds.
