Report: Monte Sereno Murder Victim Led Turbulent Lifestyle

Businessman Raveesh “Ravi” Kumra was killed Nov. 30 during a surprise invasion at his gated estate on Withey Road.

A review of court documents by the San Jose Mercury News into the mysterious slaying of Raveesh “Ravi” Kumra, suggested the former Mountain Winery owner engaged in “nefarious business dealings while living a sordid and debauched lifestyle.”

Four suspects have been arrested in connection to the slaying of Kumra, 66, but police aren’t revealing much about the suspects, their motives, or details about the investigation which is still under way.

One suspect, Javier Garcia, 21, was arraigned at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice in San Jose on murder, theft and other charges stemming from the death of Kumra, who was killed in his Monte Sereno home on Nov. 30. Garcia is being held without bail and will enter a plea at 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 4.

Authorities from Los Gatos, San Jose, Santa Clara County, Oakland, and Sacramento have been involved in the investigation.

More details from the court documents are available by reading the complete Mercury News report.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
