The brutal Suphanburi shooting incident occurred near a grocery store and a grilled chicken shop in the Sam Chuk district. The police are urgently on the search for the gunman, reviewing CCTV footage to trace the escape route and apprehend the perpetrator.

 

Upon reaching the scene, officials from Sam Chuk police station and the Suphanburi Rescue Foundation discovered a pool of blood and a pair of shoes near Uthai’s green motorcycle. Uthai was shot five times, once in the neck and four times in the back with a .22 calibre handgun. He was found unconscious in a pool of blood and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
