Victim dies at the scene despite resuscitation attempts
Despite the swift response of emergency services, the 42-year-old man succumbed to his injuries shortly after being shot. Following the discharge of at least three bullets, paramedics attempted to resuscitate the victim at the scene. However, according to a spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office, he was pronounced dead shortly after in the ambulance. The victim had been sitting in the vehicle with a companion when the shots were fired, and his passenger was also injured.
Investigators are still determining the involvement of a second person who was injured. According to sources from the German Press Agency (dpa), there is a strong indication that this individual may have been an innocent bystander. However, when questioned on Friday, a spokesperson for the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office clarified that this aspect remains under investigation.
