Tugrul’s family noticed that the little boy had fallen to the ground and blood was flowing from his head. They called emergency services immediately and medics arrived at the scene and found that Tugrul had been shot in the head.

The child was transferred to a private hospital after an initial intervention at the scene but despite the best efforts of medics, he passed away 12 days after the incident happened.

The young boy was found unresponsive in his backyard.
