Upon the authorities' arrival at the scene, initial investigations revealed that the incident occurred suddenly while both parties were joking with each other. However, the joking quickly escalated into a fight, and one stabbed the other. Local residents confirmed that the victim, "Mohammed (35 years old)," who worked as a vegetable and watermelon seller, was walking down a side street with his watermelon cart when he encountered the assailant, "Hossam (28 years old)," and began joking with him.
