00:14Iskandar Puteri OCPD Assistant Commissioner M. Kumarasan said police were alerted to the case
00:21at about 1.40 a.m. when the body of a 42-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds was left at the

00:41died from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. CCTV footage from the hospital showed two

01:01of men armed with parrings who attacked another group, one of whom was carrying a firearm, resulting
01:06in shots being fired. A police team later arrested three male suspects, two locals and one Indian
01:13national, aged between 30 and 40, around Dangwangi, Kuala Lumpur, at around 7 p.m., the same day.
01:21A Glock 19 pistol, a firearms and ammunition license, a magazine containing six 9mm bullets,
01:29a black Honda Accord, and several bullet casings were also seized. One of the suspects,
01:35a personal bodyguard, was found to hold a valid firearms license, but further investigations are
