On Tuesday, June 17th, a tragic incident unfolded on Bunsenstraße in Essen-Holsterhausen. According to reports, a dispute between two men took place around 20:10, resulting in a 43-year-old Chinese national with no fixed address in Germany sustaining severe injuries near a parking lot.

Witnesses reported the fighting to the authorities, and officers administered first aid to the injured man with assistance from two passersby. Despite their best efforts, the man succumbed to his injuries later that same evening, marking the beginning of a homicide investigation.

Investigators have secured extensive evidence at the crime scene and have established a homicide unit to delve deeper into the incident. The suspect in the case was initially apprehended near Münchener Straße, and it has been confirmed that the suspect is a 34-year-old Chinese national with no fixed address in Germany.

The Essen Public Prosecutor's Office is leading the Criminal Police in investigating the incident, and they have interviewed eyewitnesses that evening. However, the search results do not provide information about the identity of the third man observed on Bunsenstraße during the incident.

The homicide unit is seeking additional witnesses to help piece together the events that transpired on that fateful evening. If you have any information about the incident on Bunsenstraße on Tuesday evening, please contact the Essen Police at [email protected] or 0201/829-0.

Paramedics transported the injured man to a hospital, but he did not survive his wounds. The community is understandably shaken by this violent incident, and the authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to help bring those responsible to justice.

As the investigation continues, the homicide unit will work tirelessly to uncover the truth behind this tragic event and ensure that justice is served. The authorities remind the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police immediately.
