Video: Footage of Gun-Related Murder in Shengavit

Shamshyan.com has released a video showing how a gun-related murder occurred on June 7 in the Shengavit administrative district of Yerevan, on Solomon Tarontsi Street.

As previously reported, a 30-year-old resident of the Nor Aresh neighborhood in Yerevan, Sargis Sepuhyan, was arrested. During the incident on June 7, he displayed blatant disrespect towards the public, hurling sexual slurs at several individuals and refusing to comply with police officers' lawful demands at the scene.

He threatened that he would "guyl" (a term implying violence) certain people while with his friends, and when the police noticed that he was not only disobeying but also violating the order of the Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Emergency Situations, Tigran Avinyan, which required wearing a mask and maintaining social distance, they were compelled to use force to transport him handcuffed to the Shengavit police station.

On that day, a 34-year-old resident of the Nor Aresh neighborhood, Karapet Sepuhyan, the brother of S. Sepuhyan, and a 29-year-old resident of Solomon Tarontsi Street, Martik Ohanyan, were also taken to the Shengavit police on suspicion of using violence against representatives of the authorities. They were later released with a signature, while S. Sepuhyan was taken to the detention facility of the Yerevan police. According to sources, he is known in Yerevan for frequently claiming to be a friend of the notorious underworld figure “Kayaranzi Tevosik.”
