Video: A Resident of Goris Opens Fire on Two Brothers, One Survives Thanks to His Mobile Phone

The investigation into the murder of a 56-year-old resident of Goris and the attempted murder of his brother has been completed by the Goris investigative division of the Syunik regional investigative office of the RA Investigative Committee. This information was released on the committee's official website.

As a result of extensive investigative and procedural actions, it has been established that on April 10, 2022, between 22:30 and 23:00, a 33-year-old resident of Goris engaged in a dispute with the deceased's father due to a personal issue concerning a romantic interest who rejected further communication with him.

Minutes later, at 23:11, he drove his "Mercedes Benz E320" to the aforementioned area and, while shouting insults, fired shots with a 9mm firearm, which he possessed illegally, towards the man’s chest, causing gunshot wounds. The man succumbed to his injuries on the way to the Goris Medical Center around 23:20, failing to regain consciousness.

Additionally, during the same incident, the 33-year-old man also fired at the 55-year-old brother of the deceased with the same firearm, intending to kill him, and after that punched him in the face, causing him to fall. Subsequently, the perpetrator fired two more shots at the man, but due to circumstances beyond his control, he did not complete the crime; the first bullet struck the mobile phone in the man’s vest pocket, while the other two shots did not hit him.

The 33-year-old resident of Goris has been charged under Article 104, Part 1, Article 235, Part 1, and Article 34-104, Part 1 of the former Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia. He has been taken into custody as a preventive measure. The investigation has concluded, and the materials of the criminal case have been sent to the supervising prosecutor to resolve the issue of confirming the indictment and forwarding it to court.

Notice: The accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty in accordance with the established procedure of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Armenia, based on a legally binding court decision.
