Greater Jakarta: One killed in Johar Baru brawl

A

19-year-old Jakartan named Rivaldi was shot dead during a brawl in the notorious Johar Baru district in Central Jakarta in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Central Jakarta Police spokesman Comr. Suyatno said that the brawl occurred at around 1 a.m. when two groups of youths clashed after a dispute erupted in relation to the volume of passing motorcycles. The loud sound ignited anger from one group of youths. A war of words soon disintegrated into a physical confrontation.

'€œThe victim suffered from a gun shot wound. The perpetrator allegedly used an air rifle,'€ Suyatno said as quoted by tribunnews.com.

He said that the police arrived after receiving reports of the incident. '€œOur investigators are still questioning five witnesses,'€ he said, adding that the police had confiscated several sharp weapons and rifles. '€œThe victim was brought to the Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital for an autopsy,'€ he said.
