Quarrel

The attempted murder was preceded by a quarrel.

"The suspect was with friends, there were four more of them at the table, they were drinking all the time, they were loud, noisy... aggressive, they behaved as if 'the tavern was theirs', they heckled the musicians, asked for drinks to be brought to them although they were told in advance that the restaurant was closing soon and that it was the last round.

They were told again after some time that the establishment was no longer open, but did not want to leave. Security warned them several times. The suspect then stood up and started an argument with Dalibor (the victim, a security guard), threatening him. Dalibor again told him to leave the restaurant, however, the suspect took out a gun and shot at him. The group ran away immediately," our website has been told.

Dalibor K. was urgently hospitalized having been shot three times in the stomach and arm. He is in a stable condition.

Dalibor K. is a citizen of Montenegro.
