New process after terrifying shot attack in Zingst!

The events around the shots on two men from a security company in Zingst, which caused a sensation in August 2024, have taken a new turn. A 24-year-old defendant recently acquired the Stralsund district court, which revives the investigation in this case. The incident happened during the vacation time, which not only called numerous vacationers, but also the media. The young man from the Demmin region had been accused of shot from his vehicle to two other men who were seriously injured. The public prosecutor had attempted homicide, but an accusation that the accused decidedly denied. According to [nordkurier.de] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/mecklenburg-vorpommern/neuer- process-nach-schuesse-an-ostsee-beuer-nun-im- der-Mittlungen-3700844) the public prosecutor was even for an acquittal.

The fact that the shots from a conflict between two competing security companies showed up is particularly explosive. The 24-year-old and his accomplices had previously worked for the company of the 26-year-old injured party, but had switched to his own company after termination. This led to tensions and ultimately to the incident in which the accused driver was accused of having targeted a 25-year-old man. In the process, two witnesses identified the accused as a shooter, but the court denied this claim and instead provided possible references to the passenger in the room, who refused to testify.
