A Chinese national and C3 Shopping Centre business owner was shot in the mall's carpark and relieved of $230,000 and his vehicle on the night of March 8.

Police said Shi Yyan, who lives in La Romaine, was walking to his white Toyota Hiace in the mall's carpark when he was approached by two men who announced a robbery.

Yyan handed over the money, which he told investigators was from the day's sales and rent he collected from other properties, to the men who also took his keys. One of the assailants then shot Yyan in his chest before jumping into his panel van and escaping.
