A video captured by an eyewitness shows Bezzubov driving his VW Touareg from a small side street to Gunāras Astras Street, where a BMW X5 car is already waiting for him. At the moment when the VW brand car tried to leave on Gunāras Astras Street, the shooting started, however, the driver of the VW Touareg rammed the BMW car and initially managed to get away, and the escape began. The head of the state police, Armands Ruks, says: "Criminals fired shots with an automatic weapon. Injured, still able to continue driving, collision occurred. He died in the end.” Currently, the police have information that at least three persons were involved in the attack.
