The latest incident occurred just hours ago, leaving one more victim in a city that is now grappling with the reality of having a suspected serial murderer prowling its streets.
The alarm was raised at around 9:00 PM last night, when shots rang out in the city’s west. By the time police arrived, the shooter had made their escape, leaving behind a grim scene. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, marking the third such killing in Rotterdam in just two weeks.

The shocking incident is the latest in a string of shootings that are now believed to have been carried out by the same person. The first murder took place on April 11th in the working-class neighborhood of Feijenoord, leaving a 44-year-old man dead.
