According to Pol Capt Paiboon Phorthong, assistant research chief at the Sai Mai stop, officers apprehended Annop Srisueb, alias Sant Or-ngern, soon after he fired seven bullets at Pol Lt Col Banrang Kesaporn on Chalermphong Road. Around 8:30 p.m., the tragedy was identified to the police.

In front of a hair shop, Pol Lt Col Banrang, assistant crime reduction key at the Sai Mai place, was discovered lying in a pool of blood with numerous gunshot wounds. Before rushing him to a doctor, first assistance was provided by the rescue workers, but he succumbed to his wounds.
