Suspect Arrested After Daylight Shooting on Puerto Banús Terrace in Marbella

Investigators are focusing on a suspected drug‑gang score‑settling as the primary line of inquiry.

Overview

  • The shooting occurred around 2:35 p.m. local time on Avenida José Banús, where a gunman opened fire at a terrace before fleeing by car.
  • The wounded victim, a 25-year-old man who sheltered inside a nearby bar, was taken by emergency services to Hospital Costa del Sol.
  • ABC reports the victim later died at the hospital, a detail not formally confirmed by investigating authorities at the time of the latest reports.
  • Police used patrols and local surveillance cameras to locate the getaway vehicle and detained a suspect shortly after; ABC identifies him as a 38-year-old man.
  • Policía Científica processed the cordoned scene as the probe continues under the main hypothesis of a settling of scores linked to narcotrafficking on the Costa del Sol.
