The city of Essen is currently in the midst of an investigation following a shooting incident that left a 54-year-old woman injured in the city centre on May 23rd. The homicide commission is actively searching for the suspect, who is believed to have been captured on CCTV footage in a local establishment on Viehofer Street.
The commission has released images of the suspect, who is wearing a black Nike sports jacket and a black Under Armour cap. These images can be viewed at the following link: Suspect's Images.
Investigators are also utilising photos from a surveillance camera for the investigation, and are asking the public for any tips or information regarding the suspect's whereabouts. If the public recognises the fugitive in public, they are urged to immediately call the police emergency number 110. Alternatively, individuals with information about the incident or the fugitive can contact Essen police at 0201-829-0 or at [email protected].
The original report about the injured woman can still be found at Woman Injured by Gunshot. The link to view the fugitive's images from the surveillance camera is also still available at Suspect Images from Surveillance Camera.
It is important to note that the investigation into the suspect and the incident is ongoing, and the commission is still seeking public help to identify or locate the fugitive.
