Paramedics transported him to hospital. Investigators confirmed that both individuals were in a family relationship.

A similar tragedy occurred on the same street in April 2023. At that time, a man in a residential building used a firearm against a woman and subsequently took his own life. His victim survived on that occasion, although she sustained serious injuries.
