Rodge in the Zingst shooting process: Who is the real perpetrator?

Zingst, Deutschland - An exciting legal proceedings have now come to a surprising end in Stralsund: A 24-year-old defendant was acquitted of the accusation of attempted manslaughter. The events that are said to have taken place in Zingst in August 2024, shed light on an incident that made the region take notice. The NDR reports that the court was not sufficiently evident in order to support the allegations against the young man.

The accused had rejected all allegations from the start and vehemently denied that he had shot two men out of his vehicle. The public prosecutor complained that he was said to have targeted a 25-year-old man who was seriously injured. Further details reveal that two witnesses identified the accused as shooters, while two other witnesses that were in the car presented a different version of the events.

The incident and its background

The shootout occurred in the context of a personal dispute, although business motives cannot be excluded. According to the Nordkurier, all three participants were employed in a security company, which creates an additional connection. While the 25-year-old, who was hit in the abdominal area, suffered life-threatening injuries, a 24-year-old was injured by a shot.

10 days after the crime, the accused was arrested in Stralsund. However, despite the serious allegations, the trial now ended with an acquittal, since the court assumed that the passenger of the vehicle, who refused to testify in court, was the actual shooter.

according to the judgment

It is important to note that the judgment is not yet final, since the public prosecutor is examining the judgment and possible further investigations. However, the court was unable to attribute compensation to the defendant for the time in custody because it had fled after the incident.

The complications for the crime and the subsequent legal disputes create a field of tension that will continue to employ the people in Zingst and the surrounding area. How things are going on remains open and is certainly being pursued with interest. The search for clear facts and the clarification behind the various testimonies may soon bring fruitful results.
