An early hour tragedy unfolded in Fuenlabrada, a city within the Madrid region, when a 21-year-old man died and three others were wounded after a shooting outside a nightclub. Reports indicate the incident occurred in the pre-dawn hours on Monday, with emergency services receiving notifications shortly before 6:15 am. The venue identified is the Cañabrava nightclub, located at 95 Luis Sauquillo Street, an area that saw rapid police and medical response in the minutes that followed.
Upon arrival, the SUMMA 112 medical teams found the deceased man with fatal injuries described as a gunshot wound to the head and other traumatic injuries. He immediately received advanced life support measures, but despite the efforts of the attending crew, his condition deteriorated and he was pronounced deceased after attempting resuscitation in the field and during transport. The scene was secured as officers began a thorough examination of the surrounding area to determine the sequence of events and identify potential witnesses.
Initial details from the Madrid emergency services indicate that a total of three hospitalized victims were transported to medical facilities for treatment. An 18-year-old with a gunshot wound to the arm and another head injury was taken to a local hospital, while a second 18-year-old sustained a facial laceration and an arm wound. An additional patient, a 31-year-old man, suffered a shoulder injury and was admitted for observation. The medical teams reported that all three were in stable condition following initial care, with ongoing monitoring at the receiving institutions until further evaluation could be completed. In parallel, emergency responders organized on-site support and facilitated safe transportation to the appropriate hospital facilities in the region.
The public area around the venue was briefly disrupted as police and emergency personnel worked to gather facts. Fire and police units coordinated to manage the scene, secure the location, and ensure the safety of bystanders while investigators began documenting evidence and interviewing witnesses. The incident prompted a strong response from local authorities who moved to establish the perimeter and preserve potential forensic material for later analysis.
Officials have confirmed that the National Police are leading the investigation into the circumstances that led to the shooting in Fuenlabrada. Their objective is to identify the individuals responsible and determine whether this was an isolated incident or part of a broader pattern of violence affecting the area. As part of the ongoing inquiry, investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and speaking with staff and patrons who were present in or near the nightclub at the time of the incident. The investigation remains active and no charges have been announced as of this update, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in the case. This event marks a troubling moment for the community and underscores the need for continued attention to public safety and crime prevention in the region.
