Deadly confrontation in Neufahrn: Police are looking for a fugitive

On June 24, 2025, in Neufahrn near Freising, there was a tragic altercation between three men that ended fatally. How Mercury Reportedly, police and emergency services were alerted around 4:45 p.m. A 28-year-old man of Serbian nationality was so seriously injured with a sharp object during the argument that he died at the scene. Despite resuscitation measures being initiated immediately, any help came too late.

Thanks to the police's rapid search, a 38-year-old man with Bosnian-Herzegovinian nationality was arrested near the crime scene. He has now been brought before a judge and transferred to a correctional facility. The third person involved, however, is still at large. The police have concrete information about the person and warn against approaching him yourself. The fugitive is around 180 cm tall, has brown hair and was wearing a gray jacket and long dark trousers.

Investigations and backgrounds

The Erding Criminal Police Inspectorate has taken over the investigation into this homicide. In the late evening hours of June 24th, work continued well into the night to secure evidence and interview witnesses. The background to the altercation remains unclear, which poses an additional challenge for investigators. An autopsy of the body took place at the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the LMU Munich.

The increasing violent crime in Germany casts a shadow over such incidents. How Statista As it turns out, over 217,000 violent crimes were recorded in 2024, the highest number since 2007. These acts account for less than 4% of all crimes, but have a strong impact on the population's sense of security.

Social impact

The reasons for the increase in violent crime are complex and could lie in economic insecurities and social pressures. What is particularly striking is that around a third of the suspects are under 21 years old. Psychosocial factors, which became more important during the pandemic, also play a role. A survey in May 2024 showed that 94% of Germans see violence against people from politics, police and emergency services as a major problem.

The police are asking the public for information about the person they are still looking for by calling the emergency number 110. With an open and calm approach, light may soon be shed on this worrying incident.
