Police unraveling chain of events behind shooting that killed 22-year-old Arnhem man
A 22-year-old man from Arnhem passed away in the early hours of Friday as a result of a shooting in Pannerden, Gelderland. Three men were arrested in Doetinchem after the incident, with one woman being arrested in Braamt.
Police received a report about a possible shooting at 2:45 a.m. The victim was not found at the scene of the crime. De Gelderlander reported that a car with a German license plate with bullet holes in the windshield was found at the scene. A different police unit found the injured victim in a different car with two other people on the Pannerdenseweg in Zeevenaar. Emergency services were unable to get to the victim in time.
An investigation is also ongoing for shooting incidents at a home in Pannerden and a home in Zeevenaar. A shooting was targeted toward a home on the Weiliburglaan, in Pannerden at around 2:30 a.m. The possible connection between these incidents is currently being investigated.
The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service (EOD) was called in for the incident at the home in Zeevenaar. Possibly because there was a firework bomb involved.
The three men arrested in Doetinchem were also driving a vehicle that had a German license plate. Two of these were also from Doetinchem. One was underage, with the other being 22-years-old. The other is 26 years of age and is from Duiven. The woman who was arrested in Braamt sometime later is also from Duiven and is 28 years old.
“This is an incredibly sad and shocking day for our community,” said Zevenaar's Mayor Lucien van Riswijk. “I sympathize with the family and friends of the victim. This is a difficult time for them, but certainly also for the neighborhood. We all feel the impact of such an event.”
