A man has died and another has been injured in a shooting on the tourist island of Bali, according to reports.
At around 12:15 a.m. local time on Saturday, June 14, two Australian nationals found themselves involved in a shooting at Villa Casa Santisya in Munggu in the Badung regency, Australian outlets Nine News, Bali Tribune and ABC Australia reported.
Zivan Radmanovic, 33, died at the scene. Sanar Ghanim, 35, who was reportedly shot seven times, was transported to a hospital in Denpasar, the provincial capital of Bali, per the outlets.
Police have not identified any suspects in the shooting, nor have they determined a motive at this time. They are currently searching for witnesses in the incident, Daily Mail and ABC Australia reported.
There are two male suspects, who both have “thick Australian accents” and were riding scooters at the crime scene, the Bali Tribune reported. According to witnesses, one of the men allegedly wore an orange jacket with a black helmet and the other wore a green jacket with a dark helmet and a dark mask.
The two victims were reportedly staying in the villa with Radmanovic’s wife, Gourdeas Jazmyn, 30. She was sleeping in bed at the time and witnessed the shooting, per the Bali Tribune.
“[She] heard her husband screaming. She then covered her eyes using a blanket while peeking and saw a man wearing a bright orange jacket with a black helmet,” the Bali Tribune reported, citing local police. “Then saw the person shoot her husband Zivan in the toilet … a few moments later she also heard the victim Sanar screaming from [his] room and the sound of gunshots.”
