A 45-year-old man died from two gunshot wounds in Madrid’s Carabanchel district. Officials from Emergency Situations Madrid and the National Police confirmed the incident occurred near building number 120 on Calle de Santa María de la Cabeza.
Two National Police officers were among the first responders to reach the scene. They provided initial life support by applying a chest patch and administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation as the victim showed signs of cardiorespiratory arrest. When the Sable emergency units arrived, responders continued CPR for more than 40 minutes but could not revive the man, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. This sequence of events was reported by Municipal emergency services and police authorities as part of their ongoing investigation.
The incident prompted a rapid response from law enforcement and forensic teams. The National Police and the Homicide Squad, along with the Scientific Police and Forensic Police, arrived to secure the scene and gather evidence. The victim sustained injuries to the right side of the chest and the lower back. The area around Calle de Santa María de la Cabeza remained cordoned off as officers carried out initial inquiries and collected statements from witnesses and residents in the building at the time of the disturbance.
Around three o clock in the morning a disturbance in the building led to a confrontation after residents reported a loud disagreement over noise. It is alleged that the perpetrator left the building briefly, then returned with companions and opened fire. Investigators are reviewing surveillance material and interviewing residents to establish the sequence of events and identify those involved.
Authorities have identified a person believed to be the suspect but have not yet arrested anyone in connection with the shooting. Investigators are seeking the father of a girl connected to the case, with the aim of locating and questioning him as part of the ongoing inquiry. The investigation continues as officials work to determine the motive and circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting, including whether other parties were involved and if there are additional victims or witnesses who require protection or statements.
Official updates indicate that the victim and the alleged perpetrator are both Spanish. The case remains under active investigation as detectives compile evidence, review digital material, and coordinate with prosecutors to determine potential charges and next steps. The public is advised to follow official channels for verified information as authorities release new details from the investigative work and any legal actions that may follow.
