Drug Gang Rivalry Turns Deadly in Brussels Suburb, Leaving One Dead and Two Injured

The circumstances that led to this tragedy that occurred on the night of Saturday to Sunday in Forest are now known. The two rival drug dealer gangs: that of the Orban square - the scene of the crime - and that of the Saint-Antoine (de Padoue) square, less than 500 meters apart, wanted to neutralize each other to take over the drug sales point, reports La Capitale.

The cartridge cases found at the scene have made it possible to establish that the murder weapon is anything but a Kalashnikov. It is rather a 9mm submachine gun - Uzi type - capable of firing in bursts.

In the heat of the action, more than twenty bullets were fired at the three victims in a flash. Young Soufiane obviously did not have the same luck as his two friends who survived their injuries - Amine, 19, and Adnane, 17. Hit in the head, Soufiane Benali, 23, died on the spot. Three suspects were arrested after the police searches carried out by the judicial police, with the exception of the perpetrator. He would be on the run abroad after committing his crime.

According to the same media, the famous Brussels investigating judge Anne Gruwez could clarify this murder case. Familiar with the neighborhood where the murder took place, due to her volunteer work within an NGO. This is a structure that deals with the reintegration of young detainees into society. Moreover, a revenge from the camp that lost one of its elements and has two injured is to be feared, warns the same media.
