Overview

  • On May 1, rival groups clashed near Mehringplatz during a left-wing demonstration, triggering gunfire from a passing VW and an Audi that wounded one man in the leg and left another with a stab injury.
  • Investigators believe the violence is part of a broader feud between two groups suspected of carrying out other violent acts across Berlin.
  • Early on June 12, special police units searched four apartments in Neukölln and Kreuzberg linked to three male suspects aged 22, 27 and 48, as well as a witness’s flat.
  • Authorities recovered storage media and drugs from the raided properties and found a car key matching the rented Audi used in the drive-by shooting.
  • No arrests have been made to date and prosecutors say the probe remains active as they pursue additional leads and potential accomplices.
