Cops reveal reason they didn’t arrest illegal migrant who executed California waitress

Sacramento deputies had probable cause to arrest the illegal migrant who later murdered a California waitress — but said they couldn’t find him before the deadly ambush.

Indian national Rohit Rohit, 22, executed 38-year-old Shalini Thakur on Tuesday outside a Panera Bread in Sacramento.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said deputies and detectives made at least two attempts to find Rohit after Thakur reported that he had violated a restraining order she obtained against him, but they came up empty.
