In a tragic incident early on the 6th of November, a 25-year-old father tragically lost his life while bravely trying to intervene in a fight among teenagers at a molam event in Ubon Ratchathani's Khueang Nai district.

 

The confrontation unfolded shortly after Rungtiwa, who had returned home from his job in Bangkok to visit family, stepped in to de-escalate the heated dispute. Authorities arrived to find a chaotic scene: a pickup truck with its mirrors shattered and a pistol magazine on the ground. Witnesses described how Rungtiwa managed to disarm the assailant, known as Yu, but not before Yu used a remaining bullet to fatally wound Rungtiwa.

 

Rungtiwa was rushed to Khueang Nai Hospital but succumbed to his injuries. A second victim, Art, suffered a knife wound but survived the ordeal. Yu, identified as a local to Mueang Ubon Ratchathani, fled the scene and remains at large.

 

Just hours before the tragedy, Rungtiwa shared a poignant social media post featuring his infant son, expressing his commitment to being a devoted father. His untimely death has left a community in mourning and has sparked discussions on issues of violence and public safety at local events.
