Father of shooting witness shot dead with 3 bullets

Notícias de Coimbra3 September 2026 at 14:55

A 43-year-old man, father of a witness to a shooting that occurred in the summer of 2025 at a beach, was shot dead with three bullets. The crime occurred under circumstances that are still being investigated by authorities.

The victim was the father of a person who witnessed a previous shooting at the beach during the summer of 2025. Authorities believe the murder may be connected to this witness's testimony about the earlier incident.

Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact motivation behind the crime and identify those responsible for the shots. Police are working with the hypothesis that the murder may have been retaliation or an intimidation attempt related to the shooting case witnessed by the victim's son.

The original shooting, which happened at the beach during the summer of 2025, remains under investigation, and authorities are assessing whether there is a connection between the two episodes of violence.
