The victim of the tragic shooting was a young man named David Changa, a resident of the Hospital Line area within the estate. Initial reports suggest that the incident took place around 12:30 a.m., when an unidentified assailant approached Changa and opened fire before fleeing into the darkness.

A woman living near the scene of the incident recounted hearing the piercing sound of gunfire cutting through the stillness of the night. Her account, along with those of other witnesses, helped prompt a swift response from Rangapara Police, who arrived on the scene shortly after receiving emergency calls.
During their initial investigation, authorities recovered an empty cartridge believed to be from the firearm used in the attack. This piece of evidence may prove crucial in tracking down the weapon and identifying the perpetrator.
