Police arrest four men for fatal shooting after robbery turned violent in Amsterdam
The police have arrested four suspects in the shooting of Mehdi Rebroub. The four men are from Amsterdam and are 19, 20, 23, and 24 years of age. Rebroub was shot During the overnight hours of Saturday, June 22, leading into June 23.
The victim was shot near the skate park under the Amsterdamsebrug. The victim was set to meet a friend that he knew from kickboxing before others would join them to hang out at the location.
However, the group was mugged upon arrival by a group of men. The incident turned violent as an iPhone, AirPods, and a Louis Vuitton bag were taken. This led to a shooting in which Rebroub was struck in the chest. He died at the scene.
The breakthrough in the case may have been because the police brought attention to it via an episode of the crime show “Opsporing Verzocht,” which aired three weeks ago.
