A man was killed in another shooting in Berlin-Neukölln during the night. Despite attempts to resuscitate him, he died on the sidewalk on site, as police spokesman Florian Nath told the dpa. The 5th Homicide Commission of the State Criminal Police Office, together with the Berlin public prosecutor's office, has taken over the investigation into suspected homicide.

The police were alerted around 2:30 a.m. and residents and other witnesses heard shots, Nath said. The first forces to arrive found a man on the sidewalk who had been shot and very seriously injured and tried to resuscitate him. An emergency doctor also carried out resuscitation measures. But the man died.

Much of the background is unclear

Much is still unclear about the background to the crime. The subject of the investigation is whether one or more suspects were behind the shooting, said Nath. It is also not clear whether the shots were only aimed at the man who was killed or possibly at other people. According to police, the still unknown suspect or suspects are on the run.

The police union (GdP) appeared on platform “Berlin is the capital of gun violence. Power relations in the OK are constantly being re-examined," said Jendro, referring to organized crime (OK). Even in personal feuds, “bullets are exchanged rather than arguments,” Jendro continued.

Many cases of gun crime

It was only at the beginning of August that a man was shot at the Zoo train station after several people got into an argument. At the beginning of September, a man was shot at in Schöneberg and was seriously injured. Just two days ago, a man was shot at with a blank gun in Niederschönhausen.
