The loss of life of one person as a result of an armed attack that took place at night in Kuşadası, a touristic district of Aydın, caused deep sorrow in the community. In the incident that occurred around 05:45 in the morning on Kaleiçi Sakarya Street in Camikebir Neighborhood, 27-year-old Abdulkadir Ataş was shot with a firearm for an unknown reason. The young man, who was targeted in the left armpit region of his body, lost his life at a point close to the scene under the influence of the wounds he received, while the sound of guns sent the residents of the neighborhood into fear in the early hours of the morning. Although health teams were dispatched to the region immediately after the incident, unfortunately nothing could be done for Ataş and his corpse was sent for autopsy to be examined by the forensic medicine institution.

Police units dispatched to the scene upon notice launched an investigation regarding this death, which created a shock effect, by taking extensive security measures in the vicinity. The teams of the Homicide and Public Order Bureau Office within the Kuşadası Police Department both meticulously examined the scene and collected security camera footage in the vicinity to shed light on the incident. Although a definite reason for the attack has not been determined yet according to initial determinations, the police teams resorted to the statements of the person's close circle and other witnesses at the possible scene. After the examination by the forensic team, crime scene photos and evidence were added to the file and efforts to identify the perpetrator or perpetrators continued without any pause. The process of examining security camera recordings is in a position to present the most important clue as to how the incident developed.

As a result of the physical follow-up and intelligence studies carried out within the scope of the investigation, three suspect persons who were considered to be related to the incident were identified. According to the information obtained, simultaneous operations were directed against the persons named M.E.B. (26), A.A. (27) and M.D. (28), and the suspects were taken into custody from their addresses. While the proceedings of the persons at the police station continue, it is claimed that the person or persons who carried out the attack are among them. It has been determined that the suspects may have gone to the hospital with the items they found at the scene or on their persons, and this situation played a critical role in the police's identification. The details regarding the course of the incident and by whom the firearm was used are expected to become clear during the interrogations of the suspects.

The three suspects taken into custody were taken to the Kuşadası Police Department after their health checks and the statement processes were started. The investigation is being deepened and the result of the ballistic reports is awaited regarding exactly how the murder was committed and who pulled the trigger.
