Shooting in a tattoo parlor

The police service has filed an application with the court to review the decision allowing the early release of two citizens. The violation of one of them was recorded a few days ago.

Release of alleged violators

Prosecutors said the 33-year-old man will be released on Tuesday. Another 25-year-old citizen, previously detained, was released on October 18.

The case in question has generated expected anger among the police, especially in light of the fact that in relation to bikers in recent years, fairly rigorous methods of investigation have been used..

The nature of the crime

The man in the spotlight is accused of opening fire directly in the tattoo parlor. At the same time, the shooter had with him the keys to the club, where members of the local gangster group gathered from time to time..

The 33-year-old detainee Yevgeny Kimchenkov was released straight from the courtroom. This was not prevented even by the facts that the defendant gave deliberately inappropriate information about himself, including about his actual place of residence..

The defendant was charged with opening gunfire inside the tattoo parlor earlier this year. The fact that Kimchenkov has a tattoo on his body that degrades the dignity of the police service makes the situation especially piquant. Another tattoo is seen as a message of revenge “an eye for an eye”.

The police viewed the incident as an act of intimidation by a gang of bikers. During the incident, surveillance cameras recorded a cyclist wearing a helmet and a transparent shirt, who was driving in a circle around the cabin for 4 minutes. Then the driver stopped in the courtyard of the tattoo parlor in front of the front door, slowly got off the bike, fixing it with a footrest. After that, the young man took a pistol from the pocket of his backpack and fired twice into the window of the room..

Receipt of threats to victims

The police have information that the owners of the salon, a married couple who recently arrived from abroad, were repeatedly threatened by members of a local gangster group. The district police officers claimed that threats began to arrive immediately after the opening of the salon. It has been suggested that the tattoo business in this and surrounding areas was completely under the control of a biker gang. Creating a new outlet could cause customer churn, which was considered unacceptable. Therefore, all measures were taken to eliminate competitors in this area..

Earlier, the owner of the tattoo parlor told a local newspaper that threats to him and his wife began to come back in April, in the first month after opening. Then, after the shots rang out, the establishment moved to another area..

The owner’s wife, in an interview with the local press, claimed that the gang members periodically threatened them, promising to create big problems and even kill them. Bikers stated that permission to open such a salon must be requested directly from them..

Release of the defendants in the courtroom

Yesterday in court, police representatives tried to prove that special measures should be taken against bikers in order to prevent the gang members from evading responsibility, in particular, to prevent Kimchenkov from being released from custody in the courtroom. However, Judge Petrova stated that she did not have sufficient evidence of the defendant’s involvement in the activities of the gang. Many law enforcement officers felt that the woman was too loyal to the alleged perpetrator. At the same time, the police provided evidence that Kimchenkov repeatedly met with accomplices, was members of their club and wore distinctive colors of clothing..

Kimchenkov’s lawyer insisted that his client only accidentally crossed paths with gang members in a bar, without having a direct relationship with them. This was enough for the judge to draw conclusions about the defendant’s involvement in the biker gang..
