Three men aged 22, 23, and 36 used two vehicles to block the couple’s Audi Q7 on the road and opened fire with automatic rifles, killing a 39-year-old man and his 32-year-old wife at the scene after around 30 shots were fired into the vehicle. Police later identified the three perpetrators and declared them wanted. The attack was reported as revenge for the 2016 killing of the 23-year-old perpetrator’s father. The 39-year-old man had previously been accused of that killing, but had not been convicted.
