Three men were later seen coming out of the Honda, before two of them drove off in it.
Based on the information they gathered, officers from the Johor police’s Criminal Investigation Department and the Iskandar Puteri district police headquarters arrested three suspects in the Dang Wangi area in Kuala Lumpur.
The suspects are two Malaysians and one Indian national, aged between 30 and 40. A Glock 19 pistol, a firearm licence, a magazine containing six 9mm bullets, a black Honda Accord and spent shell casings were seized during the arrest, according to the police chief’s statement.
Kumar said one of the suspects works as a personal bodyguard and preliminary investigations found that he holds a firearm licence. However, further investigations will be conducted to determine the legitimacy of the firearm ownership.
All three suspects have been remanded for seven days from Jul 4 to Jul 10 to assist with ongoing investigations, which include determining the victim’s connection to the suspects and both incidents.
The case is currently being investigated for murder, rioting with weapons and for discharging a firearm outside a shooting range.
The police are still working on tracking down the other suspects who are still at large, said Kumar.
He urged the public not to speculate or make comments that could interfere with the investigation or distort the facts, especially on social media.
“This is an isolated incident. There is no broader threat to public safety, and Johor remains secure,” he said.
