According to the investigation, the accused allegedly shot an acquaintance multiple times with a “Tula Tokarev” pistol in the entrance of a building on Voikova Street. The victim died as a result of the gunshot wounds.

The crime was solved through persistent efforts by the Investigative Committee of Russia, police officers, and the FSB. A thorough analysis and investigation of evidence in the criminal case also contributed to the resolution. The accused was identified through witness interviews and on-site testimony verification.

The investigator has requested the court to detain the man while the investigation is ongoing. Authorities are also investigating his potential involvement in other crimes.
