On the Üründü road in Kökez Neighborhood of Antalya, around 01:30 on the night of May 17, a dispute over yielding on the road between Emre Savran, Bilgin Korkut, Oğuz Avcı, Ali Tunç, and Ahmet Bayar reached a tragic dimension. Ahmet Bayar, who is stated to be a forest ranger in the Gündoğmuş district, fired 13 shots with his licensed pistol that he was carrying. Following the gunshots, police and health teams arrived at the scene upon the notification of nearby citizens. Initial intervention determined that Bilgin Korkut and Oğuz Avcı had died. Severely injured Emre Savran was taken to Serik State Hospital by his friend Ali Tunç but also lost his life there. After the incident, Ahmet Bayar went to the Serik District Police Department with his weapon and surrendered. In his statement, he said that the dispute started after the other party flashed their headlights, and four people who got out of the vehicle walked towards him, grabbed his arm, and tried to pull him into the vehicle. He said he fired to protect himself. Bayar, who was arrested by the duty judge, is still under investigation along with the crime scene examinations. Security camera footage shows a vehicle cutting in front of another vehicle in traffic, then several people getting out of the vehicle and approaching the stopped vehicle, followed shortly by gunshots. The footage also shows two people getting into the vehicle and leaving the area after the incident. The bodies of the deceased were buried in Serik. This tragic development once again revealed how serious the consequences of road yielding disputes in traffic can be.
