Overview

  • Officers found an unresponsive man inside the Blossom bar on Lübecker Straße early Sunday, and police say the case is being treated as a suspected homicide.
  • MOPO, citing police information, reported the victim was a 33-year-old who died despite resuscitation attempts and was apparently fatally shot.
  • Homicide detectives, forensic teams, and search dogs conducted a large operation that cordoned off the multilane Lübecker Straße and nearby streets.
  • Police have not confirmed the victim’s identity, announced no suspect information, and asked witnesses to call the tip line at 040 4286-56789.
  • The location has seen repeated violence, including a 2022 Uzi killing and a 2024 mass beating, and it has operated under several names, prompting the police union chief to urge a shutdown or tighter laws.
