In a shooting-related crime that occurred at 2.28pm on Wednesday, 6 July, along Jalan Hujan Emas, a mother was fatally shot by two unknown assailants on motorcycles while she was driving in OUG
According to The Star Online, the shots were fired at close range. In the shooting, the victim's eight-year-old daughter was also shot and is in critical condition. She was sitting in the front passenger seat.
The national English daily reported that the woman worked as a real estate agent, who was driving her luxury MPV in Taman OUG. The police believe that five shots were fired at her car with one hitting the 32-year-old woman in the neck.
"We rushed to the scene and found the woman’s body motionless in the Toyota Vellfire. Based on our investigations the victim had come out to eat at a restaurant nearby. She was driving with five children and a maid when two men on a motorcycle approached the vehicle and opened fire," City CID chief Senior Asst Comm Rusdi Mohd Isa, who was speaking to reporters at the scene, was quoted by The Star as saying.
Police have sent the 8-year-old to Universiti Malaya Medical Centre
The woman’s body would be sent to the same hospital for a post-mortem.
The other four children aged between two and 13, as well as their maid, were unhurt. ACP Rusdi said police hope to get a clearer picture of the incident once they acquire footage from the CCTV cameras in the area.
