SHREWSBURY MASS — The Shrewsbury man accused of fatally shooting a man who caught him spray-painting Aug. 28 had serious assault charges dropped last month after a process in which he was committed for psychiatric evaluation multiple times, records show.
Snehal A. Srivastava, 26, was sent to, and released from, Bridgewater State Hospital multiple times since an alleged machete attack in 2022, court records show, before charges against him were dismissed for “lack of prosecution” July 15 in Westborough District Court.
Court records show Srivastava, who was held without bail Aug. 29 in connection with allegations he gunned down a 56-year-old man who confronted him spray-painting a footbridge, had been accused of seriously injuring a man with a machete in a movie theater parking lot in September 2022.
