SEREMBAN: A 43-year-old man was shot dead while another was injured after two assailants on a motorcycle fired into a moving car.
Negri Sembilan police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said that the deadly shooting took place during the morning rush hour along Jalan Rasah near here.
"The two victims were attacked near Mambau, heading towards the Port Dickson toll plaza around 7.30am.
"Preliminary probe revealed that assailants had opened fire at the car as it was approaching the plaza," he said.
DCP Alzafny said that both the victims were still alive at the scene and were rushed to the hospital, but the first man, who was in critical condition, died while receiving treatment at the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital.
"We believe the deceased man is a bodyguard and driver to the second victim.
"The motive of the attack is believed to be revenge and gang rivalry, although investigations are ongoing," he said, adding that the police forensics team also found several spent casings at the scene.
He said the second victim, 47, who had a criminal record with 15 prior offences, was still receiving treatment at the hospital.
