Overview
- The Landgericht Stuttgart convicted the then-17-year-old of murder and two attempted murders under juvenile law, with a non-public trial and a verdict that is not yet final.
- According to the court, he entered the bar on October 2, 2024 and fired 15 rounds from a machine pistol in under ten seconds, killing one man instantly and injuring two others.
- The shots were meant for members of a rival group, but the victims had no connection to them and the fatality resulted from mistaken identity.
- The court found the murder element of treachery because the men did not expect an attack; the defendant admitted shooting, and prosecutors had sought nine years and six months.
- Authorities place the case within a wider gang conflict around Stuttgart marked by numerous raids and nearly 100 arrests, calling this the 17th concluded trial and the only one involving a death.
