Magen David Adom (MDA) responders attempted to resuscitate the man en route, later pronouncing his death at the hospital. The circumstances surrounding his death are being investigated, but police suspect the shooter was riding a scooter and escaped from the scene.
Forensic investigators have also begun collecting evidence and clues from the scene, as police continue to scan the area in an attempt to locate the shooter.
The report comes amid a string of murders in Israel, in the midst of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. On April 29, a 37-year-old man was arrested by police for the murder of his 31-year-old wife in Holon. The man arrested was named as Alaza Mandparo, and he later confessed after being caught by police, explaining that he took action because he suspected that she cheated on him with his friend.Earlier Sunday, a 21-year-old man from Ramat Gan reportedly confessed to the murder of his girlfriend after being arrested on Saturday night.
The suspect was taken by police to the Tel Aviv Magistrate Court on Sunday afternoon, where he began to panic and attempted to launch himself at the police officers. His arrest was extended.
