A teenager was fatally shot while crossing a road in a cross-regional community incident, sparking a swift police hunt for the perpetrator.

 

The incident occurred in the heart of the community on Pa Phai Road, Soi 1, Nakhon Chum, Kamphaeng Phet, with the 19 year old man sustaining a gunshot wound to his temple. A Thai-made gun with one shell in its chamber was found at the scene alongside a .38-calibre bullet casing.

 

The victim’s friend, who was present at the scene, recounted the moments leading up to the fatal shooting. He said they were riding a motorcycle together when a young man on a green Honda Dream without a number plate came from the opposite direction and fired a single shot, causing the victim, Aphirak, to fall from the motorbike. The gunman then quickly fled the scene.

 

Aphirak’s 49 year old mother, Narairat, was horrified by the incident, saying she did not know her son was involved in any dispute before his tragic demise, reported KhaoSod.

Girl, or drugs, or overtook them on the road. 

"a young man on a green Honda Dream without a number plate came from the opposite direction and fired a single shot, "

 

Certainly doesn't sounds like they overtook the shooter.
