Following the deadly shooting in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean on Monday evening, the Brussels Public Prosecutor's Office has announced it is now looking for a white Skoda Scala with a licence plate from Luxembourg.
The shooting took place on Monday at around 20:35 in the Rue Dubois-Thorn, in the Beekkant neighbourhood in Molenbeek. A dark blue Nissan Note was stationed when a white Skoda Scala with a Luxembourg number plate pulled up next to it.
A passenger in the Skoda – who was armed – got out of and sat down in the stationed Nissan and subsequently shot the person inside. The victim, a 20-year-old man, died on the scene. The gunman fled on foot towards the Rue Osseghem, with the Skoda Scala also driving off in that direction.
