On February 20, at around 2:30 pm, Myo Hlaing was shot on the leg and back by the armed wing of the Junta, while he was sitting on the backseat of the motorbike, at the checkpoint at North of the Ayeyarwady Bridge in Pakokku Township, in Magway Region. Allegedly, the reason of the shooting was that two men were in the same motorbike. Myo Hlaing died due to severe bleeding, as the military did not call an ambulance in time. The driver of the motorbike was arrested.
