We commemorate a man who was shot and killed by police in Ingolstadt on June 5, 2023. He was 35 years old. His name is not known to us.

The man is said to have been walking around on railroad tracks while naked and in a state of mental crisis when the police arrived. According to the police, he threatened to jump off a bridge several times. Thereupon, there were long negotiations with him with the aim of bringing the man to a "medical measure". In addition to the police, a special task force (SEK) and a colleague of the man, there was also an interpreter present to facilitate communication with the 35-year-old Czech.

Eventually, the 35-year-old hid in a bush, from which he later emerged with a piece of wood in his hand. The police then fired gunshots at him. All resuscitation attempts by an emergency physician were unsuccessful; the 35-year-old died of his injuries.

An autopsy will now determine how many shots hit the 35-year-old. The Bavarian State Criminal Police Office is now conducting further investigations to clarify the course of events and the circumstances surrounding the firing of the police shots.
