At the time of the crime, the 27-year-old was in a backyard on Kleinhüningerstrasse in Basel, as the Basel-Stadt public prosecutor's office announced on Saturday. An unknown perpetrator injured the man by firing a shot. The perpetrator then fled on a light motorcycle (e-scooter). The injured man was still responsive and was taken to hospital.
A search for the unknown perpetrator immediately launched by the Basel-Stadt cantonal police has so far been unsuccessful. The reasons for the shooting and the exact course of events are unclear and are being investigated by the criminal investigation department.
