Police Recover Weapon in Fatal Nong Chok Shooting Case
Authorities have seized the firearm used in a fatal shooting in Bangkok's Nong Chok district, as the manhunt for the suspects continues.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, Metropolitan Police investigators have recovered the firearm used in a violent incident that resulted in the death of a 32-year-old man. The victim, identified as Mr. Singto, was killed inside a motorcycle repair shop in the Krathum Rai sub-district of Nong Chok, Bangkok, after being struck by 21 bullets.
On September 18, 2026, police units led by the Metropolitan Police Bureau conducted a raid on a residence in Bang Nam Priao District, Chachoengsao Province. Investigators had received intelligence that the suspects, who allegedly arrived at the scene in two modified pickup trucks, had hidden the weapon at this location. While the firearm has been secured as evidence, the primary suspects—including 31-year-old Mr. Teeraphat—remain at large. The court has already issued arrest warrants for those involved.
For residents and visitors, this incident highlights a targeted act of violence involving a large group of individuals. While such events are typically isolated and not directed at the general public, it serves as a reminder to remain aware of one's surroundings. Authorities are currently prioritizing the apprehension of the remaining suspects. Further details regarding the motive and the final capture of the individuals involved are expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
