Gang attack in Bangkok leaves man fatally shot

[webfact]

A notorious gang stormed a rival’s home, resulting in a tragic shooting where the older brother came out to confront them but was fatally shot multiple times. The younger brother revealed the deceased had just returned to visit their mother before being caught in the crossfire. Police have identified the suspects.

 

At 2am today, October 18, Tosaphon Rungchaeng, a deputy inspector at Bang Khen Police Station, received a report of a man critically injured by gunfire in front of a house on Soi Ramintra 21, Intersection 18, Anusawari, Bang Khen, Bangkok.

 

He proceeded to the scene with Anan Warasart, the precinct’s chief; Komsan Piya Seema, deputy chief of investigation; Yuranan Phetmanee, an investigation officer; forensic experts from Phumiphol Hospital, and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation.

 

Officers found a 9mm bullet and five shell casings scattered on the street. The injured man was quickly transported to the Phetkasem Foundation office in Soi Ramintra 23 by relatives but succumbed to his injuries shortly after.

The deceased, identified as 29 year old Paisan, was discovered lying on a stretcher, wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and black three-quarter pants. A gunshot wound was visible on his chest, with the bullet lodged inside. Relatives were seen grieving at the scene.

A 16 year old witness, identified as A, a student in Mathayom 2, stated that the deceased was his older brother, who worked as a delivery rider. Usually, Paisan lived with his girlfriend but had come to visit their mother. On the evening of yesterday, October 17, around 8pm, Paisan invited friends to celebrate his belated birthday.

A recounted that around 1am, five to six teenagers arrived at the house on three motorcycles. Recognising them as members of the Tae Or Ngern 41 gang, they began throwing bottles into the property and taunting him to come out.

 

Gang attack

 

A said his brother chased the gang members away, causing them to crash their motorcycles roughly 20 metres from the house. The gang abandoned one motorcycle and fled on the other two.

 

A brought the fallen motorcycle inside and called the police. Approximately 10 minutes later, the gang returned with four motorcycles, armed with a gun and a machete, seeking to retrieve their abandoned vehicle and escalate the confrontation.

 

Paisan ran out to confront them but was shot multiple times. A saw his brother collapse and rushed him on a motorcycle to the Phetkasem Foundation office, about 600 metres from the scene, seeking urgent medical assistance. Unfortunately, Paisan could not survive his injuries.

 

A explained that the Tae Or Ngern 41 gang had previous conflicts with another group in their neighbourhood, mistakenly believing he was part of the rival gang. This assumption led to several online challenges but A insisted he was not involved. He speculated that the gang thought he was alone, prompting their attack, which tragically resulted in his brother’s death, reported KhaoSod.

 

Initial investigations by police revealed broken glass bottles, chairs, wood debris, a 9mm bullet, and five shell casings at the scene. The evidence was collected for further analysis.

 

CCTV footage from the area is being reviewed to track the escape route of the gang members. Police have identified them and plan to bring them to justice.

"....the deceased had just returned to visit their mother before being caught in the crossfire."

being  caught in a crossfire means a person is between two (or more sides) shooting at each other. In this case it sounds like only one side was armed and doing the shooting.

uneducated wild lunatics.  Again,  I blame the irresponsible parents.

Thailand has millions of irresponsible parents that don't know how to bring the kids up or they don't care,  because they're too busy drinking Lao Khao with the neighbors.  

 

sad, all the same. 

RIP 29yr old
