A man was shot dead in the driver's seat of a vehicle outside a motorcycle shop in Malaysia on Friday afternoon (June 20), in the country's third fatal shooting in over a week.
The incident occurred in Meru, Klang. The victim, a 46-year-old local man, was seated in a white pickup truck when shots were fired through the car's side window, reported Malaysian media.
Medical personnel later confirmed his death at the scene.
Photos and videos circulating online showed locals surrounding the vehicle where the side window appears riddled with six bullet holes.
According to Klang Utara district police chief Assistant Commissioner S. Vijaya Rao, local police were alerted at 3.37pm and have since launched an investigation to identify the suspect and uncover the motive for the murder.
An eyewitness initially mistook the gunfire for firecrackers, but soon realised the seriousness of the situation.
"I thought it was just firecrackers, or maybe the usual crow shooting. Only later did we realise it was something serious," said a 55-year-old shopowner to New Straits Times.
She said she realised the severity of the incident when a crowd began to form around the vehicle and word spread that someone had been shot. She only believed it when she approached the vehicle.
This incident follows two other fatal shootings in Malaysia in recent days. On June 17, two men were shot dead outside a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, in a case believed to be connected to smuggling activities in Sarawak.
On June 13, one person died and two were injured after a shooting at a restaurant in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.
