The Greek-American, known as “the American” or “Gus”, everything indicates that he knew his killer, and the Security officers from the testimonies and the use of video material by the evening had narrowed down the number of suspects.

Unconfirmed information stated that the car used by the perpetrator and his accomplice was found near Kitries.

It is worth noting that the crime took place on a busy street in Kalamata a few meters from the Fire Department building and within walking distance of the Courts.

He blocked his way with the car

According to the testimonies, the victim was moving with his motorbike on Hydra and the killer’s car on Solonos, heading towards Aristomenouis.

At the intersection, the driver of the car blocked the way for the victim and he fell from the machine. The driver then got out, approached him and according to witnesses they got into a fight – which even made some of the locals assume it was nothing more than a car accident.

But whatever differences the two men had between them caused the perpetrator of the crime to pull out a nine-barreled pistol and shoot his victim once in the leg, perhaps as a form of intimidation.

Then, he got into the car where his accomplice was waiting for him and left for Aristomenouis.

The victim, who apparently received the bullet in an artery, was bleeding profusely and professionals from nearby offices who rushed to help were unable to help him.

He lost a large amount of blood and when the ambulance arrived at the Hospital Emergency the doctors had to resuscitate him. And although they temporarily managed to bring him back, his condition was such that he could not withstand the operation and died.

At the scene of the fight, the police of Semanias found a shell from a nine-shot pistol.

Involved with drugs in America as well

“The American” or “Gus” was allegedly involved in drug cases in America as well, before moving from Chicago to Greece.

During the approximately 10 years he lived here, he had engaged the prosecuting authorities for drug cases and 4-5 criminal cases had been filed against him – while he was out with restrictive conditions for the case of cocaine trafficking and fake passports and IDs, which the Kalamata Drug Prosecution solved in April 2021.
