Stuttgart - Shot on the balcony? Violent crime poses a mystery
A suspected murder in Stuttgart's Rot district is keeping investigators busy. A 45-year-old man was found dead on his balcony on Wednesday evening. Residents had previously reported to the police that shots had been fired, as dpa learned from security sources on Thursday. A short time later, special forces stormed an apartment on Thursday night and arrested the suspected perpetrator - a 42-year-old man. He is suspected of having shot the 45-year-old, the police announced in the early morning.
What is behind the crime is still completely unclear. According to the investigators, they are not currently assuming that the man's death has anything to do with the feud between two rival groups in the Stuttgart area that has been raging for months. For many months, there have been repeated acts of violence, including repeated shootings. According to the State Office of Criminal Investigation, dozens of men have been arrested in this connection so far.
According to security circles, the suspected murder in the Rot district was actually the result of a neighborhood dispute. The suspect's apartment is not far from the victim's apartment, according to security sources. The Stuttgart police press office could not be reached for further information on Thursday morning.
The police had launched an extensive search for the suspected perpetrator on Wednesday evening. A police helicopter was also deployed. According to the police, the suspect was eventually arrested without resistance. According to the police, it was not possible to completely rule out any danger to the public during the search operation. Residents were therefore asked to stay at home and avoid the Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen area.
