PETALING JAYA: A man is believed to have been shot dead outside a motorcycle shop in Batu 5, Jalan Meru in Klang on Friday (June 20) afternoon.
According to a Facebook post by a user, at least six gunshots were reportedly fired at the victim, who was inside a pickup truck parked in front of the premises.
“People of Meru, be careful. A shooting has just happened here,” the user wrote in the post, which quickly gained traction online, Sinar Harian reported.
Several other Facebook users also shared their experiences of either witnessing or hearing the incident.
One user, Anisha Syam, said she heard the gunshots clearly and described the sound as frightening.
“It was really terrifying to hear those gunshots,” she said.
Another user, Badrul Hisham Mohd Nor, said he had just left the area shortly before the incident occurred.
“I had just finished changing my motorcycle tyre at the shop. I was there a bit earlier before it happened,” he said.
Efforts to get police confirmation on the incident are ongoing.
Two open shooting cases occurred within four days in Brickfields and Cheras recently.
Based on police's initial investigations, the shooting incident involving two men in front of a shopping complex in Jalan Loke Yew, Cheras, at midnight on Tuesday (June 17), is believed to have stemmed from smuggling activities in Sibu, Sarawak, while the incident that occurred in Brickfields on Friday (June 13) is believed to have resulted from a conflict in criminal activities occurring in Selangor.
