Top official in local branch of crime syndicate shot dead
Okayama prefectural police conduct an investigation near the parking lot of an apartment complex in Okayama, western Japan, where Tadashi Takagi, a top official in the local Ikeda branch of crime syndicate Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi, was shot on May 31, 2016, resulting in his death later in the day. The police are treating the incident as a homicide, with suspicions of a connection to Japan's largest gang, the Yamaguchi-gumi, following concerns of intensifying conflicts between the two crime syndicates after their split in August 2015.
