Authorities in the Krasnogvardeisky district are actively pursuing leads related to an armed incident that erupted during a road dispute, with confirmation from Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, the St. Petersburg police, and the Main Directorate of the Leningrad Region. The investigation team is gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and coordinating with regional crime units to establish a clear sequence of events and identify those responsible for the attack.
In the early hours of June 24, a passerby alerted emergency services to a gunfight near the sixth house on Zanevsky Prospekt. Responding officers arrived promptly and encountered a 33-year-old man at the scene. He reported that at number 5 on Stakhanovtsev Street, four unidentified individuals had fired upon him with a traumatic pistol as part of a road confrontation, before fleeing in a dark blue BMW and a red Subaru. The police secured the area, collected shell casings, and began canvassing nearby traffic cameras and surveillance footage to trace the suspects’ movements and vehicle registration information.
The injured man was transported to a medical facility and treated for a gunshot wound located under the armpit and around the waist. He underwent immediate medical care and was discharged in stable condition after receiving appropriate treatment. Medical staff conveyed that his injuries did not threaten his life and that his condition was monitored closely in the hours following the incident. The case has been formally opened, and investigators are pursuing every lead to bring those responsible to justice, including inspecting nearby residences, reviewing call logs, and cross-checking with regional criminal databases to uncover any prior connections among the individuals involved.
Law enforcement officials emphasize the importance of public cooperation with the inquiry. Citizens who have any information about the confrontation, the suspects, or the movements of the involved vehicles are urged to come forward through official channels. The ongoing inquiry aims to determine the motive for the clash and to establish whether the incident was isolated or connected to broader patterns of street violence in the area. Law enforcement will continue to provide updates as the investigation progresses, while ensuring the safety of residents in the district as officers intensify patrols in the vicinity of Zanevsky Prospekt and Stakhanovtsev Street.
