He said police viewed footage from a nearby closed-circuit television camera and saw two male suspects on a Yamaha Y15 motorcycle, which had no registration number, with one of them seen firing a shot at the victim’s car.

“The suspect was then seen trying to fire another shot at the house, but the gun failed to work and the suspects then fled,” he said. - FMT
