The man who was shot dead on Monday at the trailer park on Heezerweg in Eindhoven was a 34-year-old from Utrecht. No one has been arrested yet. A photo of the body is circulating on social media. The police are asking people not to spread it further.
The police are in the dark about the cause of the fatal shooting. She keeps all scenarios open, a spokesperson said. The police are talking to family members and acquaintances of the victim, among others.
The shooting was reported around three o’clock on Monday afternoon at the trailer park on Heezerweg in Eindhoven. Upon arrival, officers saw the victim lying next to his car. The man was resuscitated, but help was no longer allowed to pay.
Manhunt
The police immediately launched a manhunt. A police helicopter was used in the search. In and around the camp, a meticulous search was also carried out for traces.
In the area, officers tried to retrieve CCTV footage showing the victim’s car. The police investigation lasted well into the night and resumed on Tuesday.
A photo of the deceased victim, apparently taken just after the shooting, is circulating on social media. “Very nasty images and terrible to see,” says the police. People are advised not to share the photo and to delete the image immediately.
More often in the news
The trailer park has been in the news several times negatively in recent years. For example, there was once a stabbing and the police and judiciary regularly carried out drug and weapons checks.
Last October there was a gigantic police action – including at the camp. Large amounts of drugs, weapons, cash and fireworks were found. How much of this came from the camp on the Heezerweg is unknown.
Camp closure
Exactly one year ago, the municipality announced that it wants to close the camp. It would not be a safe and livable environment. The municipality has not yet responded to questions about the possible consequences of Monday’s shooting.
