KYOTO (Jiji Press)—Takayuki Ohigashi, president of Chinese restaurant chain operator Ohsho Food Service Corp., was shot dead on Thursday in front of the company’s head office building in Kyoto.

A company employee called an ambulance after finding Ohigashi, 72, lying in the company’s parking lot around 7 a.m.

Ohigashi, who was shot in the chest and stomach, was confirmed dead at about 8:10 a.m. The Kyoto prefectural police have launched a murder investigation.

Kyoto police sources said what look like bullet cartridges were found at the crime scene, but the police have yet to find a gun or other weapon that may have been used in the attack.

The company has received no statement claiming responsibility. There was no sign of a struggle and no witnesses, according to the sources.

Ohigashi was found lying on his stomach, bleeding. He seems to have arrived at the office by car because his car was in the parking lot.
