The shooting happened on Nesserland in Amsterdam-Noord. Ambulance personnel determined that Wondel was died of gunshot injuries. Another man was hit in the thigh.

The motive fro the murder remains unclear. The suspect claims that the victim bothered his children. In her closing speech, the prosecutor talked about the impact that the shooting had on Wondel's relative. "The family is faced with the loss of their son and brother, who they never had a chance to say goodbye to. We can all imagine how horrible this loss is for them." The court will rule on April 15th.
