Lin Shijie, a prominent figure in the local political scene and father of DPP councilor Lin Yiting, was shot and killed by an assailant while exercising in Tainan. Known as 'Chicken,' Lin had a background mingling in various circles but successfully transitioned into business. Despite being implicated in last year's bribery scandal involving the council's president and vice president, he maintained a strong position in the local political arena. Lin's case was set for retrial after initial charges related to intimidating a KMT councilor were dropped due to lack of fear, but he was tragically ambushed and killed before the second trial. Lin's influence extended to helping secure his daughter's councilor position through connections. The incident adds another layer to the political landscape and ongoing legal proceedings in the region.
