Israeli police have apprehended a key suspect in the fatal shooting of a Jaffa resident that occurred in late August. The suspect, a Jaffa resident in his twenties, was detained at the Jordan River border crossing as he attempted to re-enter Israel. The arrest was confirmed by the Israel Police press service.
The incident took place on August 28 on Sderot Yerushalayim in Jaffa, where multiple armed individuals opened fire on Ahmed Shakr, inflicting critical injuries. Despite being transported to a hospital, Shakr was pronounced dead shortly after. Commander of the Tel Aviv District Police, Major General Haim Saragroff, assessed the scene, and the investigation was handed over to Tel Aviv YAMAR investigators.
Authorities had previously arrested two accomplices on the day of the shooting and confiscated the vehicle used by the perpetrators. The third individual involved managed to flee the country to Jordan. Following an arrest warrant, police have now detained him upon his return.
Investigators have compiled evidence against all involved parties and submitted the case to the prosecution, which has already filed charges against the first two detainees. The main suspect is currently in police custody pending interrogation, and authorities are seeking to extend his detention period.
