The victim told police he was driving his motorbike to pick up his wife when he passed a group of five youths sitting on their own bikes on the side of the road.

Nukul said he didn’t pay the men any mind, but soon after heard the sound of gunfire and, after riding a bit farther, realized he’d been shot and stopped to request help from locals.

Police speculated the gunshots were fired by one of the youths at a rival gang member.
