Former UCLA graduate Mainak Sarkar, who went on a murder-suicide mission to UCLA and shot professor William Klug, also killed a woman in Minnesota. Officials confirmed that the woman found dead in Brooklyn Park, a suburb of Minneapolis, was Ashley Hasti.
According to CNN, Hasti and Sarkar got married 14 June, 2011, but it is not clear whether they were still married at the time of their deaths.
The Daily Beast reported the local cops said that Hasti could have been dead for a couple of days, while Daily Mail reported that Hasti, who was a medical student, was found with a gunshot to the head. The report added that Hasti had enrolled in the University of Minnesota Medical School in 2012. She also holds a bachelor's degree in Asian languages and literature.
Hasti's name was on a "kill list" that Mainak Sarkar had written. The list also included the name of another professor whom the authorities believe the gunman had intended to kill, but could not find on the UCLA campus, police chief Charlie Beck said. The cops found the list in Sarkar's Minnesota home. The authorities, however, did not publicly identify the unharmed professor or the woman.
Sarkar drove to Los Angeles from Minnesota with two guns and killed Klug before taking his own life. Beck said it appeared mental issues were involved and that Sarkar's dispute with Klug was tied to Sarkar thinking the professor released intellectual property that harmed Sarkar.
Hasti lived with her father in Brooklyn Park. Gordy Aune Jr, the neighborhood watch commander, said that the father daughter kept to themselves.
