TVBS News reported on July 8, 2024, that Lin Shijie, chairman of the Tainan District Fishermen's Association, was ambushed and shot to death. Lin was implicated in a bribery case involving the Tainan City Council, and although he was acquitted in the first trial, his second trial was scheduled for the following week. Speculation arose whether the shooting was related to potential political motives due to conflicts over photovoltaic interests between Lin and others involved. The case prompted questioning and an investigation by authorities. Lin's daughter, Lin Yiting, a city councilor, expressed shock and grief over the brutal crime, while various political figures and supporters were divided on the situation, with concerns over ongoing conflicts and safety issues in the area.
