The suspect, 21, confessed to killing Hitender Thakur during a store robbery, officials say. The Indian student had come here to pursue his dream of a medical career.

Hitender Thakur came to the United States from Mandi, India, with high hopes and aspirations, his family says.

He originally wanted to be a doctor, but after moving to Harrisburg in 2003 following two years at an Armenian medical school, Thakur changed his mind and decided to pursue nursing.

Thakur’s dream was cut short three years later, on May 26, 2006.

The 23-year-old was working the night shift at City Gas and Diesel Mini Mart in the 1500 block of State Street in Harrisburg when he was shot to death during an attempted robbery. Before leaving Harrisburg shortly after his son’s death, authorities cautioned Khem Singh Thakur that, even though they would still work the case, the killer might never be found.
