Two Gunmen Shoot Man Outside Used Car Lot, CCTV Reveals Key Clues
Two gunmen on motorcycles shot a 33-year-old man outside a used car lot in Ayutthaya's Bang Pa-in district early August 13, with CCTV footage showing the shooter may have handed the weapon to his accomplice before both fled toward Uthai dis
At 12:10 a.m. on August 13, 2025, Bang Pa-in Police Sub-division was alerted to a shooting incident on Rojana Road near a used car sales tent in Bang Pa-in district, Ayutthaya. Deputy Commander Kajapol Fuengkachon and Commander Piphop Napudera led officers including investigation teams and forensic specialists to the scene.
Victim Ballan, 33 (surname withheld), was found with a gunshot wound to the forehead, bleeding heavily and unconscious along the roadside. Officers administered first aid and CPR, coordinating an ambulance to Rajdhani Hospital.
A witness reported seeing two teenagers on motorcycles with similar clothing moments before hearing a gunshot, then finding the victim on the ground as both motorcycles sped away.
Volunteer Ployphirin Kornjanaratt, on duty nearby, heard a gunshot and a shout but could not make out words. She spotted the unconscious victim and called for medical assistance.
CCTV footage revealed two men: one in a red shirt riding a motorcycle with an injured passenger wearing a factory uniform and yellow sling, and another in a dark blue factory uniform on a second motorcycle. When they reached the incident location, the injured man dismounted and the uniformed man drew a firearm and shot him. The red-shirted driver then turned the motorcycle around heading toward Uthai district, while the gunman fled on the same route.
Footage also captured suspicious behavior suggesting the shooter may have handed the weapon to the red-shirted rider before both fled together. Police suspect the red-shirted man may be more involved than simply being a driver, though it remains unclear whether this was a planned ambush. Police have not ruled out any possibility, including the likelihood that both individuals knew the victim. Officers are currently analyzing surrounding CCTV footage, interviewing witnesses, and investigating connections between the two suspects and their relationship to the victim.
