His killing was the subject of a court hearing on Wednesday before the shots were fired. The public prosecutor's office could not be reached at first, and the police did not want to officially comment on the "Bild" report when asked.

According to police and the public prosecutor's office, four men were injured by the shots fired outside the court building after the end of a trial day in the killing of former professional boxer Besar Nimani. They are 23, 25, 25 and 63 years old and some of them are relatives or close associates of the 34-year-old man accused in the trial. According to the police, the state of health of those shot is stable.
The Bielefeld district court had issued an arrest warrant for four counts of attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm. Investigators searched for the man by means of a search warrant and photo.
Suspect in police custody
