Teen Arrested for Deadly Göppingen Bar Shooting Linked to Gang Feud

A 17-year-old Syrian suspect is in custody following a nationwide manhunt for the October 2024 shooting that left one dead and two injured.

The suspect, a 17-year-old Syrian male, was arrested by police special forces in Ludwigsburg after a four-month nationwide search.
He is accused of killing a 29-year-old man and injuring two others in a Göppingen bar on October 2, 2024, using a suspected machine pistol.
Authorities are investigating potential ties between the shooting and a violent ongoing feud between two criminal groups in the Stuttgart region since 2022.
The gang rivalry, involving over 500 individuals, has previously led to shootings and a hand grenade attack injuring 15 people at a funeral in Altbach.
The suspect has not commented on the allegations, and investigations into the motive and broader gang connections are ongoing.
