Israeli police announced Sunday an additional arrest in the investigation into the murder of Ahmad Shaqra in Jaffa, bringing the total number of suspects to three. The Central Unit of the Tel Aviv District Police apprehended a new suspect, also a Jaffa resident in his 20s, on Sunday. This follows the filing of indictments against two other individuals involved in the August 28 killing.
Shaqra, 28, was riding a bicycle on Jerusalem Avenue in Jaffa when a Grand Cherokee jeep pulled up. A person exited the vehicle, shot Shaqra multiple times with a handgun, and fled the scene. Shaqra sustained critical injuries and was pronounced dead shortly after at Wolfson Medical Center.
Following the incident, the Commander of the Tel Aviv District, Major General Chaim Sarugarov, assessed the situation, and the investigation was assigned to the Central Unit. Within hours of the murder, investigators arrested two Jaffa residents, both in their 20s. During the arrest of one of the suspects, a loaded handgun was recovered. The vehicle used in the crime was also found near the arrest location.
As the investigation progressed, police linked the initial suspects to the evidence. Several days ago, the primary suspect in carrying out the murder, also a 20-year-old Jaffa resident, was apprehended at the Jordan River border crossing while attempting to enter Israel. His detention has been extended by the court. The latest arrest on Sunday marks a further development in the ongoing investigation.
