What could be the motive to shoot dead a person? Must be deep hatred! Just 6 months ago, a fatal shooting also happened in TUTA. No wonder my friends kept advising me to stay clear from this place. In the middle of the night sometimes back, my friend heard shoutings and looking out of the window and saw a few Chinese men holding parangs forcing a man out of his car while shouting, ROBBERY! ROBBERY! .. they got into the car, also drove their own car and disappeared without a trace. Be home early gentlemen
JOHOR BARU - An undertaker was shot dead while having breakfast at a coffeeshop in Jalan Nakhoda, Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, here.
Ong Chin Loo, 48, who was with two friends, was shot three times by the assailant at about 7.15am yesterday.
Johor deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ismail Yatim said the attacker, who was wearing a helmet, had entered the coffeeshop through the back door and shot point-blank at Ong.
"The suspect then ran towards his motorcycle, which was parked behind the coffeeshop," he said, adding that Ong died at the scene.
Initial investigations revealed that the suspect might have used an automatic pistol, he said, adding that police recovered six bullet shells.
"Police are looking at the CCTV images from the shop to identify the suspect and we are investigating the motive behind the murder.
"We have also detained two people to assist in the investigation," he said.
SAC Ismail urged those with information to contact the police hotline at 07-2212999 or lodge a report at the nearest police station.
