In the early morning of July 8th, in Tainan City, the father of DPP councilor Lin Yiting, Lin Shijie, was shot at close range multiple times as he was leaving home to go hiking, resulting in his death despite emergency medical treatment. The police are investigating security footage to track down the perpetrator and any potential accomplices. Lin had previously run for city council but was unsuccessful, with his daughter Lin Yiting winning in 2022. There are suspicions that this incident may be linked to past political conflicts and threats made against others in the council, although Lin Shijie was acquitted in a previous case of alleged intimidation.
