Madhabadi police station Officer-in-Charge Mohammad Nazrul Islam said today (22 December) they suspect the killing stemmed from a prior enmity.
"We are investigating and working to arrest those responsible," he added.
The deceased's nephew Tanmoy said Humayun and some others were playing badminton in a field in the Panchdona Bazar area at night. At around 11pm, two young men known to Humayun from the same area called him to the Panchdona Bazar Fish Market Mosque near the playground to talk.
Later, Tanmoy and others in the field heard the sound of gunshots. When Tanmay rushed toward the sound, the miscreants fired stray bullets at him and fled on a motorbike.
Injured Humayun was taken to Narsingdi Sadar Hospital, where the doctor declared him dead.
