Patron Perishes at Shisha Lounge, Now Under Investigation by Hamburg Homicide Unit.
In the early hours of this morning, a tragic incident unfolded at a Shisha bar in Hamburg's Hohenfelde district. The homicide commission is currently investigating the case of a lifeless man found within the establishment.
The background of the case remains unclear at this time. However, it is known that the emergency services were called around 4:30 a.m., reporting a man urgently needing help in the bar. Despite the best efforts of the paramedics, they were unable to revive the victim.
The police operation at the Shisha bar is still ongoing, with the homicide commission, evidence team, and sniffer dogs present. The area around the six-lane Lübecker Straße and surrounding streets has been cordoned off.
Investigators are questioning residents in the area of the Shisha bar and are currently patrolling the vicinity. The investigation into the current case is focusing on potential third-party liability.
The operator of the Shisha bar is not publicly named in the available sources. The bar has a history of violent incidents, but no specific operator's identity has been disclosed. Residents claim that the bar has reportedly changed its name after each violent incident, but the operator and guests remain the same.
Around three years ago, a 27-year-old man was shot dead in the same Shisha bar. The motive for the shooting, as revealed in a previous trial, was disputes in the drug scene.
A DRK crisis intervention team was on site at times to support the employees of the bar. In a recent incident in December, two men were attacked by masked assailants within the bar.
The identity of the victim found dead in the Shisha bar is still unknown. The investigation into the case is being conducted with the greatest possible effort, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
