Fatal Shah Alam brawl a turf war between gangs, say cops
Police have arrested 11 suspects whom they say are members of two gangs, one of which was only recently formed.
On Tuesday afternoon, a fatal brawl erupted in Shah Alam, resulting in one death and multiple injuries, according to police. The incident occurred on a street where two rival gangs are believed to be engaged in a turf war. Selangor police chief Shazeli Kahar announced that 11 suspects in their 20s and 30s had been apprehended, with several more still at large.
All 11 suspects are suspected members of these two gangs, one of which is relatively new. Five of the suspects were remanded for seven days, while the remaining six appeared in court for their remand hearings.
Three individuals linked to the brawl are currently hospitalized. The deceased was struck by a blue Perodua Alza at the scene. Viral videos captured several others sustaining slashes during the altercation. The police found no connection between this fatal incident and the recent death of a teacher in Hulu Selangor, which they stated was not related to work stress.
The teacher's family, colleagues, and students reported that she appeared to be in good health at her workplace. The teacher's sudden death while in the hospital for treatment remains under investigation.
