The incident took place on September 6, 2024, at the cafe in Sekapark, Kozluk District. Allegedly, an argument broke out between the former employee of the cafe, Hasan Akın (27), and his older brother Ahmet Akın (30), and the business owners, who could not receive their money. After the discussion turned into a fight, Hasan Akın and Ahmet Akın were shot and injured. Hasan Akın, who was hospitalized, died on the day of the incident, and his brother Ahmet Akın died on September 7.

Police teams launched a large-scale investigation into the incident and a total of 13 suspects, including business owners, were detained. While 11 of the suspects whose statements were taken were released, Furkan G. and Oğuzhan S. were arrested and sent to prison. According to the reports in the indictment, 5 bullet entry wounds were detected on Hasan Akın's body and 3 bullet entry wounds on his older brother Ahmet Akın's body, and 10 empty shell casings were found at the scene.

In the indictment, two life imprisonment sentences were requested for the defendant Furkan G.

The hearing of the case filed regarding the incident continued to be held at Kocaeli 3rd High Criminal Court the other day. The detained defendants, parties and lawyers attended the hearing. Detained defendant Oğuzhan S. asked for his release, saying that he shot at the ground to protect himself and that he did not shoot at Ahmet Akın.
