Cops commence probe into viral clips of fatal shooting in Bandar Sunway

KUALA LUMPUR – Police have opened an investigation paper into three viral videos allegedly related to a shooting in which a man was killed in Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya on Wednesday.

Subang Jaya district police chief Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said police were tracking down the individuals who circulated a CCTV clip as well as two videos that had been circulating on social media since last night. 

“A police report has been lodged on the viral videos and investigations are being conducted under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act,” he said in a statement today.

Meanwhile, Wan Azlan urged the public not to speculate about the incident and said that any illegal behaviour will be punished according to existing regulations.

A check on social media found that three videos related to the incident had gone viral, including CCTV footage showing three masked suspects entering a handphone accessories shop before gunning down a man at close range. 

The second video is believed to have been taken with a mobile phone and showed the victim lying in a pool of blood on the shop floor, while the third video showed the suspects fleeing the scene in two cars.

In the 1.35pm incident, the 32-year-old victim, who had two previous convictions, was shot twice by unknown assailants.

He died on arrival at Serdang Hospital. The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code. – Bernama, June 17, 2023
