North Rhine-Westphalia: Several shots in Dortmund: Victim succumbed to injuries

Dortmund (dpa / lnw) - A 32-year-old succumbed to his serious injuries after being shot by an unknown person in Dortmund. The man died on Monday evening after several shots were fired at him on Sunday night, police and prosecutors said on Tuesday. The perpetrator is still unidentified and on the run, a spokesman for the prosecutor said. Nothing is known about the motive.

The perpetrator got into a dark-colored car and fled. The victim is said to have told passers-by immediately after the incident that he did not know the person who shot him.

However, the perpetrator apparently ambushed the 32-year-old in front of the apartment at night and fired six shots at him, the spokesman for the authorities said. Therefore, a targeted act can be assumed.
