Fatal shots in the southern part of Nuremberg: a new trail leads to Frankfurt
– The incident caused great sadness and horror throughout Germany at the end of October. In Nuremberg, a man fired at two people with a gun. One of them is fatally injured by the bullets. The suspect is still on the run – now a new lead leads to Frankfurt.
It was a major operation for the Nuremberg police: On October 24, 2022, a 28-year-old is said to have shot two men aged 30 and 35 in front of a restaurant in the southern part of the city. Any help came too late for the 30-year-old, and he died a little later in a hospital as a result of his discoveries. Investigations revealed that a dispute between the two men should have broken out beforehand.
Almost two months later, the suspect is still on the run. Around 40 people are now trying to catch the suspected shooter in a specially set up special commission.
A possible new track now leads to Frankfurt am Main. As a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor’s office in Nuremberg-Fürth confirmed when asked by our editorial team, three properties in Frankfurt were searched last Monday morning (December 19, 2022). “Of course we continue to flag with high pressure,” assures the spokeswoman. The search was carried out with the aim of apprehending the fugitive and of being able to secure suspected evidence that could possibly be used to obtain further information on the whereabouts of the suspect.
In the course of the day there were further indications that led to an allotment garden colony – also in Frankfurt. Therefore, on Monday evening, a gazebo was also searched. So far, the suspect has not been caught. The 28-year-old is still on the run about two months after the fatal shots. The investigators could not reveal any further tests so as not to jeopardize the ongoing investigation.
