Accordingly, the victim, a man from Russia, had demanded money from the accused.
He is said to have shot the thirty-eight-year-old during the meeting on Heerstrasse during an argument, presumably to avoid the money demand.
According to the preliminary autopsy results, he died of the high blood loss and a failure of the central regulation as a result of the gunshot wounds.
The suspected shooter, a 40-year-old man from Azerbaijan, is now in custody.
He is now being investigated on suspicion of manslaughter.
