Just days after a man was shot dead in Brickfields, another fatal shooting unfolded outside a shopping mall in Cheras late last night, this time involving two alleged gang members from Sarawak
Both victims were believed to be influential underworld figures from Sibu and Bintulu.
China Press, citing police sources, reported that both had criminal records, with one of them previously linked to a murder case. This detail supports early speculation that the shooting was a targeted hit.
The attack happened just after 12.15am in front of Viva Home Mall on Jalan Loke Yew.
China Press reports that at least four assailants had been lying in wait near the mall entrance before ambushing the victims as they approached their car.
The suspects fired multiple rounds, killing both men on the spot, before fleeing in a Perodua Alza.
Police are reportedly probing a gangland-style hit
While the motive has yet to be officially confirmed, early police investigations point to a possible gang-related revenge killing. The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
Forensic teams were deployed to the scene.
