The accused and four others arrived at the bar around 1 am when it had closed and asked the bar staff to serve them alcohol, said police.

“On being refused, a heated argument ensued between them and the bar staff. During the argument, one of them brought in a rifle and shot at the DJ in his chest from point-blank range,” said Chandan Sinha, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Ranchi.

The accused fled after the incident and the injured DJ was taken to Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), where he was declared dead.

Ranchi Deputy Superintendent of Police and the local police station in-charge visited the crime spot this morning.

The police are examining the CCTV footage to identify the shooter and his accomplices. The bar employees are also being questioned.

Guadalajara, Mexico:

A shooting attack left at least six people dead in a bar in the western Mexican state of Jalisco, a region hard-hit by gang violence, authorities said Saturday.

The incident took place late Friday in the town of Teocaltiche during celebrations for the anniversary of Mexican independence, the Jalisco prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

“Several people were shot in a bar in the Maravillas neighborhood,” the statement said. 

After originally reporting four deaths, prosecutors on Saturday confirmed the toll of six dead.

Jalisco has been shaken by violence linked to the Jalisco New Generation cartel, one of the largest criminal groups in Mexico.

Teocaltiche, which is north of the Jalisco capital of Guadalajara, was the scene of another shooting earlier this month that left two police officers dead.

Since the federal government in late 2006 launched a military-backed anti-drug offensive, more than 340,000 killings and some 100,000 disappearances have been registered, most of them linked to criminal organizations.
