Deadly shots in a kebab restaurant: dispute over money escalates in Vienna!

In Vienna-Ottakring, a spicy encounter in the Turkish restaurant “Liman” ended in blood on Thursday evening. At around 9:45 p.m., a dispute between several men escalated over a dubious loan from Switzerland. During the clash, a 33-year-old Chechen man was fatally shot, while a 55-year-old Serb man was seriously injured and had to be taken to hospital Cosmo reported.

The background to the incident is a financial conflict related to a planned distribution of an amount of 25,000 euros. Witnesses report that the Chechen guard was armed with a Glock. The dispute over the five-figure loan granted by a Swiss bank led, as the daily newspaper reported Today uncovered, to several shots that ultimately had a bloody end.

The search for the perpetrator

After the crime, a 38-year-old man reported to the Vienna State Criminal Police Office and stated that he had been in the shooter's getaway vehicle. A 35-year-old accomplice turned himself in to authorities the next evening. However, both men are unwilling to comment on the shooting and deny any direct involvement. Nevertheless, they were taken into custody. The police have made the arrest of the suspected shooter their top priority and are intensively searching for him. Forensic evidence is being collected and surveillance cameras are being evaluated to secure crucial evidence.

The police currently consider the threat to bystanders to be low, but assume that the fleeing suspect is dangerous and possibly armed. The search is taking place both nationally and internationally because every tip could be crucial.

Such events shed a worrying light on the escalating conflicts in the city. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether the police will be able to catch the wanted perpetrator soon in order to prevent further escalations.
