On Tuesday evening, a 27-year-old was shot dead in Frankfurt's main station. A suspect was arrested. Only the courageous intervention of police officers prevented him from escaping on a departing train. Even the day after the fatal shooting at Frankfurt's main station, the background and possible motive for the crime are unclear: On Tuesday evening, a man shot a 27-year-old man three times in the head from behind on the platform on track 9. According to the police, the man died at the scene.
As a spokesman for the public prosecutor's office explained on Wednesday, a 54-year-old with a home address in Baden-Württemberg is under strong suspicion of murder. The man was caught a few meters from the crime scene by the "courageous intervention" of a federal police patrol and prevented from escaping on a departing train. He allowed himself to be arrested without resistance. The man reportedly threw the murder weapon, a pistol, in the direction of his victim when he tried to escape. It was secured as part of the forensic investigation.
The victim does not have a registered address in Germany, said the spokesman for the public prosecutor's office. Investigators have not yet provided any further details, such as a possible motive or whether the victim and suspect knew each other, and have referred to ongoing investigations. These should show "whether it was a planned crime," said the spokesman for the public prosecutor's office.
Arrest warrant issued on suspicion of murderThe alleged perpetrator was brought before the judge at the Frankfurt district court on Wednesday. She issued an arrest warrant on suspicion of murder. Witnesses who had witnessed the crime at the main station had already been questioned that morning.Frankfurt's main station was completely closed for almost half an hour on Tuesday evening. Heavily armed police officers could be seen in the station building and at the entrances, and numerous police vehicles were parked around the main station.

Tracks 7 to 11 remained closed until late into the night to secure evidence. The operation ended at around 4:30 a.m. and the area around the crime scene was reopened, said the federal police.
