After the victims collapsed from gunshot wounds, the gunmen continued firing additional shots. They then fled the scene by vehicle.
Gang Connections and Criminal Background Drive Targeted Killing
The 44-year-old victim had four prior criminal convictions, including one murder case, Sin Chew Daily reported. The 42-year-old victim also carried a criminal record linked to gang activities.
Sources suggest both men were prominent members of the Fuzhou gang from Sibu. Their extensive criminal histories indicate the attack may be connected to ongoing underworld conflicts.
Police forensic teams have arrived at the scene to conduct investigations. Authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the case.
The Brickfields shooting occurred at 10:50PM on 13 Jun 2025 at a restaurant on Jalan Tun Sambanthan. Three men aged between 30 and 50 were dining with friends when two suspects on a motorcycle approached and fired several shots at the group.
One victim died at the scene from gunshot wounds, with his body sent to Universiti Malaya Medical Centre for post-mortem examination. The other two victims received treatment at the same hospital, with one sustaining serious injuries and another suffering minor wounds.
Police are investigating the Brickfields case under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.
