Danish police have arrested a woman in her thirties for involvement in a fatal shooting. She faces charges of complicity in murder and will appear for a custody hearing on Wednesday.
Authorities made another arrest in a shocking homicide case from spring. A man was shot and killed in front of a 12-year-old girl during the incident. The arrested woman will face a custody hearing with a request for pre-trial detention.
Copenhagen Western Suburbs Police confirmed the arrest of a woman in her thirties. She stands accused of complicity in murder in Søborg, a Copenhagen suburb. While police haven't explicitly linked her to the Novembervej case, available information strongly suggests this connection.
The shooting occurred on Friday afternoon, May 2nd, on Novembervej in Søborg. A 35-year-old man sat in a car when several perpetrators deliberately approached the vehicle, according to witness accounts.
A 12-year-old girl was also in the car during the attack. Police previously stated the 35-year-old victim was brother to a man connected to gang circles. The man initially suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized. He died two days later.
One week after the shooting, authorities arrested the first suspect, who was subsequently remanded in custody. Six days later, police detained two more individuals who also faced pre-trial detention. On May 26th, a fourth man was arrested and imprisoned.
The case has been heard behind closed doors until now. Specific details about the proceedings remain unknown to the public.
This arrest marks the fifth detention in a case that highlights ongoing gang-related violence in Copenhagen suburbs. The presence of a child during such brutal violence raises serious concerns about public safety.
