PETALING JAYA : A 46-year-old man was killed after a four-wheel-drive vehicle was fired upon by an unidentified person in Meru, Klang, today in the third such incident reported in the Klang Valley in a week.
Klang Utara police chief S Vijaya Rao said the shooting occurred at about 3.37pm at a shop selling motorcycles.
Police later found the victim covered in blood in the driver's seat of the vehicle. Vijaya said the case is being investigated as a murder case, with efforts being made to identify the suspect and the motive.
At least six shots were believed to have been fired at the vehicle in Jalan Mahang, with bullets piercing through the driver's side of the front windscreen, reported Harian Metro.
Last Friday, one man died and two others suffered injuries when two men on a motorcycle shot at them while they were eating at a restaurant in Brickfields. On Tuesday, two men were shot dead in front of the lobby of a shopping complex in Jalan Loke Yew, Cheras.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said the shootings were believed to be linked to criminal disputes originating in Sarawak and Selangor.
