A public transportation driver was fatally fatally shot by an unidentified man in the Tingginambut district of Puncak Jaya regency, Papua, on Saturday.

Papua Police spokesman Adj. Sr. Comr. Sulistyo Pudjo Hartono told The Jakarta Post that the victim, identified as Ali Mangalik, 30, was shot in the head and died at the scene.

"The police are investigating the case," he said.

According to the police's preliminary findings, Ali was likely the victim of a random shooting. He said Ali was on his way home to Wamena, the capital of Jayawijaya regency, after delivering cargo in Mulia, Puncak Jaya regency, which is about an eight-hour drive from Wamena.

Saturday's shooting is the second one this month, following the death of First Pte. Andri Candrayansyah, who was shot on Sept. 1 in Puncak Jaya. Nine soldiers, six civilians and one medical worker have been killed in a series of shootings in Papua since February. (hrl/dic)
