Setia Alam shopping mall shooting suspect killed in shootout with police at Pulau Ketam hotel
SHAH ALAM, Feb 18 — The suspect in last week’s shooting at a Setia Alam shopping mall was killed in a shootout with police at a hotel in Pulau Ketam, Klang, early this morning.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the man in his 30s, was tracked down in a joint operation by the Bukit Aman and Selangor Criminal Investigation Departments at around 3 am.
“A shootout occurred inside a hotel room, and the suspect was shot dead,” he said in a statement today, adding that two loaded firearms were found in his possession during the raid.
The suspect, who had nine prior criminal records, including one for a drug-related offence and seven for robbery, had been hiding at the hotel for the past two days, said Hussein.
On Feb 8, a cleaner was shot in the leg by an unidentified individual at a shopping mall in Setia Alam.
The suspect then fled by hijacking a vehicle and forcing the driver to help him escape.
Subsequently, Hussein confirmed that police had identified the suspect and launched a manhunt.
