Narcotics were allegedly involved in the differences between the two families who quarreled with the tragic consequence of the shooting of a five-year-old child in Markopoulos, earlier.

The two families have employed EL.AS in the past and according to information, in particular, it is not the first time that there has been an episode between the two families as shots had been fired during an argument between them and 2020.

The father of the five-year-old boy had been imprisoned for drugs and was released a few days ago, which probably provided the opportunity to set up the ambush.

The alleged perpetrator is also the father of three minor children.

The incident took place in the morning on Agios Dimitriou Street, when a driver of an IX vehicle, who is said to be Roma, stopped next to another vehicle, which was also occupied by Roma, and fired, resulting in the injury of the boy.

The child was taken at 10 am on Friday to the Markopoulou Health Center with a gunshot wound to the head.

He was brought to the emergency room unconscious and ended up, despite the desperate efforts of the doctors, at Aglaia Kyriakou Children’s Hospital.

The five-year-old boy was sitting in the back seat, and was shot while the car was moving. The father and the child were in the car.

The Hellenic Police is conducting an investigation into the incident and the arrest of the perpetrator.
