Police Hunt Suspect Following Shooting Incident Outside Rayong Nightspot

On September 15, 2026, at approximately 2:15 a.m., police from the Klaeng District Station in Rayong province responded to a report of a shooting outside a well-known entertainment venue in the Klaeng municipality. According to Khaosod Online, no injuries or fatalities were reported during the incident.

Witnesses, including the victim, Mr. Kittiphan, reported that the suspect, identified as a man named 'Pu' from the Chamkho sub-district, arrived in a white pickup truck with a cargo frame. The suspect allegedly circled the area, revving his engine repeatedly before firing a single shot into the air. Mr. Kittiphan stated that the confrontation stemmed from a personal grievance, as the suspect was reportedly angered that the victim did not greet his father earlier that evening. Two other individuals, identified as 'Nan' and 'Em,' were reportedly with the suspect at the time. The group fled the scene in the pickup truck, heading toward Wang Chan District.

For residents and visitors, this incident highlights a localized dispute that escalated into public endangerment. While the situation appears to be a targeted personal conflict rather than a random act of violence, it serves as a reminder to remain aware of one's surroundings in nightlife areas. Police are currently reviewing CCTV footage to track the suspects. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to apprehend the individuals involved.
