He sustained gunshot wounds to his abdomen and hand. Video footage recorded shortly after the incident showed Morteza still conscious and able to speak while receiving initial medical aid. He was subsequently transported to Bazargan Hospital, but he succumbed to the severity of his injuries and passed away.
