Sienna Nicole Srinivasan, a 5-year-old girl of Indian-American ethnicity, tragically lost her life on April 19, 2016, in Katy, Texas. Sienna, along with her 2-year-old brother MJ and her parents, Natalie Altier Srinivasan and Jeremy Raju Srinivasan, were found dead in their home in what was determined to be a murder-suicide.

The incident was reported to the
police by Jeremy's father, who received a text message from his son saying, "Everything is not OK. Please call police" and "Goodbye". When police arrived at the scene, they found all the lights off and no one answering the door. Upon entering the home, they discovered the bodies of the family members, all of whom had died from gunshot wounds.
