Talgat Turgunbekov, 19, is accused of firing at a group of juveniles who were hanging out in a parking lot in Bensalem. <\/p>\n
BENSALEM, Pa. – A 19-year-old man is accused of firing at least two shots towards a group of juveniles who police say were hanging out in a parking lot earlier this month.<\/p>\n
An investigation later revealed that 19-year-old Talgat Turgunbekov allegedly fired shots at the same group before and is accused in a 2024 road rage incident.<\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
Officers from the Bensalem Township Police Department were called to a parking lot on the 3800 block of Horizon Boulevard on Oct. 11 for reports of a shooting.<\/p>\n
Investigators learned that a group of juveniles were hanging out in the parking lot when someone in a blue Toyota nearby fired at least two shots towards them.<\/p>\n
No one was injured in the shooting, according to police, and the alleged gunman, described as an Asian male, fled the scene before officers arrived.<\/p>\n
The children told police that the same man chased them and fired shots on a prior occasion, but they did not report the incident to authorities.<\/p>\n
Investigators later learned that a month earlier, in the same parking lot, the suspect driving the blue Toyota is accused of firing multiple gunshots.<\/p>\n
Police soon began monitoring the area around the parking lot and encountered the suspect’s vehicle being driven by an Asian man in his early 20s.<\/p>\n
When officers approached the vehicle, investigators say the driver accelerated towards an officer’s car before hopping a curb and fleeing through a grassy area.<\/p>\n
Police used the vehicle’s license plate number to track down the car’s owner, which helped investigators identify 19-year-old Talgat Turgunbekov as the suspect.<\/p>\n
Turgunbekov was accused of a 2024 road rage incident during which he allegedly pointed a BB rifle at another car and threw a tire iron though its back window.<\/p>\n
Police say Turgunbekov turned himself in three days after the encounter with police.<\/p>\n
He has been charged with aggravated assault, carrying a firearm without a license, fleeing or attempting to elude police, and more.<\/p>\n
What’s next:<\/p>\n
Turgunbekov is being held at Bucks County Correctional Facility on $250,000 bail.<\/p>\n
