Bavaria: man shot in front of house: search for motive continues

Weiltlingen (dpa / lby) - After the fatal shots at a 33-year-old in front of his house in Central Franconia, the investigators are still looking for the motive of the perpetrator. Police later found him dead in his car. A neighborhood dispute between the two men cannot be ruled out because they lived in close proximity to each other in Weiltingen (Ansbach district), said a police spokeswoman on Tuesday. Whether this could also have been a motive, she could not say.

According to the police, the 55-year-old drove his van to the victim's property on the outskirts of town on Monday and fired at the 33-year-old. After that he fled. Numerous emergency services and a helicopter searched for the suspect. Two hours later they found the van with the dead man in a wooded area. According to what is known so far, he killed himself.
