43-Year-Old Arrested After Shooting Attack in Linz

On January 14, the victim met with a man unknown to him, who, however, owed money to a friend of the victim. Presumably, drug deals were in the background. A dispute ensued, during which the perpetrator shot the 38-year-old through the passenger window while he was sitting behind the wheel in the car. The man suffered a gunshot through the shoulder and had to undergo emergency surgery. After the act, the perpetrator fled.

Shooting Attack on 38-Year-Old in Linz: Suspect Arrested in Switzerland

The following day, a suspect was arrested but was soon released from pre-trial detention. The victim apparently identified another person as the alleged perpetrator using photo lineups at the police station. However, only the photo and an alias name were known of this person. In the course of lengthy investigations, the suspect has now been tracked down. He is a 43-year-old with no fixed residence, who frequents the drug scene and was unequivocally identified as the perpetrator by the victim. Investigators tracked the man to Switzerland, where he was arrested on Saturday.
