After a passerby reported about an Asian individual stabbed and lying among cars on the street, the CID teams from the Al-Rifa'a police station swiftly moved in three minutes. The ambulance arrived promptly, and the victim was rushed to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

As per the forensic report, the victim's cause of death was determined to be the stab wounds inflicted on his chest.

Following the incident, the CID teams initiated a manhunt for the accused, who had fled the crime scene but abandoned the sharp knife used to stab the victim.
