Two men were gunned down outside a shopping mall along Jalan Loke Yew in Cheras shortly after midnight today.

The incident occurred at around 12.15am, as the victims were walking towards their car which was parked in the compound of the shopping complex.

The suspects then fled in a Perodua Alza.

Both victims are said to be in their 40s from Sarawak and suffered gunshot wounds to the head and body and died on the spot.

Police are gathering information from eyewitnesses and reviewing CCTV footage to identify the suspects and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

It was earlier reported that a man was killed and two others injured after they were shot while eating at a restaurant in Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Brickfields, on Friday.

In the 10.50pm incident, the three men, aged between 30 and 50, were dining with several friends when they were approached by two men on a motorcycle.

The two suspects then fired several shots at the group.

One of the victims succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene from gunshot wounds. - June 17, 2025
