KUALA LUMPUR: A shooting at a restaurant in Brickfields left one man dead and two others injured – the motive for which police are still trying to determine.
Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Ku Mashariman Ku Mahmood said the brazen attack happened at about 10.50pm on Friday along Jalan Tun Sambanthan.
The three victims, aged between 30 and 50, were with friends when two men on a motorcycle approached and one of them opened fire, he told reporters at the scene.
“One of the victims died on the spot while the other two were rushed to Universiti Malaya Medical Centre for treatment.
“Of the injured, one remains in serious but stable condition while the other suffered minor injuries and was treated as an outpatient,” he added.
ACP Ku Mashariman said a post-mortem would be carried out on the deceased.
Police are reviewing CCTV footage of the shooting to determine the motive behind the attack.
“We are confident that the suspects will be identified soon,” said ACP Ku Mashariman, urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in the investigation.
He added that police have yet to determine whether the assailants were locals or foreigners.
The shocking attack was captured on video, showing one of the victims being gunned down at close range while others at the table scrambled in panic.
Another victim was also shot while the gunman fled moments later on a waiting motorcycle.
A second clip showed chaos erupting inside the restaurant, with patrons and workers running for cover and some hiding behind tables.
One of the victims could be seen collapsing near the entrance.
