A man identified as N. M. (37) was shot in the leg at a nightclub in central Belgrade. The shooting happened around 5 a.m. at a venue on Poincare Street, near the Pancevo Bridge. The bullet struck his lower leg and passed through it.
The wounded man was taken to the Emergency Center. According to early reports, the injury also affected his ankle joint. Ambulance crews reached the scene quickly.
What makes the case unusual is the account given by the victim himself. He said he heard a shot and, at that same moment, felt he had been hit, but did not see who fired at him. According to unofficial information, witnesses inside the club at the time repeated a similar version.
There were around ten people in the venue, by those accounts. None of those present, it is claimed, saw the attacker or could describe how the shot was fired. A single shell casing was recovered at the scene and sent for further analysis.
Why do the accounts of the incident differ?
In cases like this, the key task is to match the statements against the physical evidence. The wounded man insists he did not see the attacker. At the same time, according to some media reports, officers found a pistol on the injured man himself during the intervention.
That detail opens several lines of inquiry. The presence of a weapon on the wounded man does not automatically mean he fired it. It does, however, oblige investigators to check the origin of the pistol and whether it is registered.
Ballistic analysis of the recovered casing should show which weapon the bullet was fired from. Only once those findings are compared can the sequence of events be reconstructed more clearly. Until then, every version remains just one possible course.
It is important to stress that no one has yet been found guilty by a final court ruling. At this stage, the process is about gathering evidence and establishing the facts. The legal classification of the offense will depend on the results of forensic analysis and questioning.
What are police doing on the ground?
Police carried out a scene examination inside the club and in the immediate area. Footage from surveillance cameras on the premises and nearby streets is being collected, where such footage exists. Statements are being taken from staff and guests who were present.
The aim of the pre-trial procedure is to determine who fired and why. The motive is not known at this point. The possibility that the incident followed an argument inside the venue is not ruled out, but there is no confirmation of that theory yet.
The location draws additional public attention. Poincare Street lies in the wider city center, in an area with nightlife and heavy traffic. A shooting in an enclosed space holding several people always carries the risk of graver consequences.
For now, it is known that one person was wounded and that his life is not in danger. No official statement from the competent prosecutor’s office on the classification of the offense had been issued at the time of writing.
How could it happen, in an enclosed club among a dozen people, that no one saw who pulled the trigger?
