On May 29, Moose Wala was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Punjab's Mansa district, a day after the state government curtailed his security cover. In the attack, the singer's cousin and a friend, who were travelling in a jeep with him, were also injured. At least three weapons were used and thirty empty cases were found from the site. A CCTV footage, which emerged on social media, showed that the vehicle of Moose Wala was being followed by a Corolla car in Jawahar Ke village on Sunday evening. A Bolero car stopped in front of Moose Wala's Thar and then the occupants of both cars started indiscriminate firing at the singer, according to the FIR.

The Punjab police had termed the incident a case of an inter-gang rivalry and had said that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was behind the murder of Moose Wala. Canada-based Goldy Brar, who is the member of Bishnoi gang, had claimed the responsibility of the murde. According to police, Moose Wala's murder appeared to be in retaliation of Akali leader Vicky Middukhera's murder that took place last year. The name of Moose Wala's manager Shaganpreet had figured in the murder of Middukhera's murder.
