The Brussels public prosecutor’s office confirmed Sunday that a 19-year-old man was killed Saturday night near the Clemenceau metro station in Anderlecht.
The victim died at the scene. “At first glance, these events appear to be related to a settling of scores within the context of drug trafficking,” stated the prosecutor’s office, declining further comment.
Shots were fired around 9:30 pm, and a judge has been appointed to investigate the case as a murder. The King’s prosecutor and the investigating judge visited the scene, accompanied by federal police forensic experts and a ballistics specialist. A forensic pathologist was also called in.
The suspects, who fled in a vehicle, are still being actively sought.
