Armed clashes between Indonesian military forces (TNI) and the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPN-PB) were happening ealier that day. The incident was witnessed by one of Mr Lokbere’s relatives, who was with him inside the car.

Thereupon, TNI members released an aimed shot at the pick-up truck. The bullet reportedly hit Mr. Lokbere’s chest. Subsequently, the military convoy stopped the truck and gave the order to open the window. As Mr Lokbere followed the instructions, military members pulled him outside the vehicle. One of them releasing a shot from close range. Hendrik Lokbere died on the spot when the projectile hit him between the left lower jaw and the neck (see intro image).
