The attack took place on Thursday night around 8.30 pm when Shetty was traveling with five associates—Sanjay, Prajwal, Anvith, Latheesh, and Shashank—near Kinnipadavu Cross. Their vehicle was intercepted by a group of six armed men traveling in a Swift car and a pickup truck.

Police have registered a case of murder and are pursuing leads to determine the full motive and scope of the attack. Shetty, who had five criminal cases against him—four in Mangaluru City and one in Dakshina Kannada—was a known rowdy sheeter.
