In another tweet, it was noted:
Clarification and correction; one of Tarshiz's friends emphasized that he stepped forward three days ago to prevent shots from hitting his wife, and the bullet struck his heart, and his wife was not killed.
The location of Tarshiz's murder was Tehran, and he was buried today.
