The first case reported there.
1) One of the four lives in the southeastern city of Daegu, the first case reported there.
Is this a kind of participle constructions and then the original sentence might be
2) One of the four lives in the southeastern city of Daegu, and the first case was reported there.
->One of the four lives in the southeastern city of Daegu, the first case having been reported there.
And then can I say that 'and' and 'having been' are omitted in converting the #2 sentence to the #1?
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance!

Hans51 What do you native English speakers think? I don't think your projections are correct; I think it is appositive: One of the four, the first case reported there, lives in the southeastern city of Daegu.

Thank you and then do you think that 'reported there' modifies 'the case' hehind as a adjective phrase and 'who was' is omitted between them?
