Authorities released photos and warned the public the man may be armed as they mount a hunt for a suspect accused of attempted manslaughter.

Overview

  • Dortmund prosecutors and the police homicide commission obtained an Untersuchungshaftbefehl on November 11, 2026, charging a man with suspected attempted manslaughter and prompting a public manhunt.
  • Police identified the suspect as Erandi Cano, born July 15, 1989, who reportedly uses the alias Marco Lombardi and carries a falsified Italian identity document that lists Milan as an origin.
