Just before 7 pm on Sunday evening, a 32-year-old man was shot dead and two men, 21 and 22 years old, were shot and injured, but are believed to be out of danger.

The police are looking for a 170–180 centimeter tall man wearing dark clothes and a hood who disappeared from the scene on an electric scooter.

The hypothesis that the crime was gang-related has been strengthened, says police inspector Tommy Larusen from the Copenhagen police.

This is partly due to the crime scene, in the Tingbjerg district in northwestern Copenhagen, how the crime was carried out and who it was directed against.
