The investigation into Friday’s shooting on Loevensteinlaan is still in full swing. No one has been arrested yet. In the coming days, the police will focus on hearing witnesses, analyzing camera images and investigating traces that are secured.
Camera images
The police are still looking for camera images and witnesses. “Perhaps there are people who live in the vicinity of Loevensteinlaan or from Sint Antoniusstraat who have camera images for us,” the police report. “Also the place where a car was found on the Espakker may also be people who can tell us more about how that car ended up there and who was in it.”
Victims seriously injured in cars
The shooting took place on Friday afternoon around four o’clock. A little later, the police found several bullet shells in the street. 200 meters away they found a car with two injured men. One of them died shortly thereafter. The other was taken to the hospital with shot wounds. Later, agents found a deceased man in a second car away in the neighborhood.
According to De Telegraaf, the shooting is possible with a fight about drugs. “The motive is still unclear. Such rumors are included in the investigation. We keep all the options open,” the police said.
