A migrant from Tajikistan will stand trial in Krasnoyarsk for a shooting case

The prosecutor’s office accuses a native of Tajikistan of shooting from a traumatic pistol due to a long-standing domestic conflict.

According to the press service of the Krasnoyarsk Krai prosecutor’s office, a 33-year-old native of Tajikistan will stand trial for shooting. The investigation has already been completed and the case has been sent to court. He is accused of hooliganism with the use of weapons and causing harm to health.

According to the investigation, the incident occurred in the spring of 2025 near the sports hall “Strela” in Krasnoyarsk. The accused went to watch his son’s wrestling training. On the same day, his cousin came to the hall with a friend; they also came to watch their sons.

A domestic conflict, which had started long ago, flared up between the men. They went outside to resolve their differences. Outside, the accused went to his car, took out a traumatic pistol “Grand Power T12-FM1,” and fired at least 6 shots in the direction of his relative and his friend.

The prosecutor’s office clarified that the man fired in a residential area, near a children’s sports facility, where children and coaches were present at the time. One of the coaches, who ran to the sounds of gunfire, took the pistol away from the accused. But this did not stop the men. A fight broke out between the relatives. The accused began to hit his cousin in the face and body. As a result, the men were injured.

The prosecutor’s office initiated a criminal case under part 2 of article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hooliganism with the use of weapons) and subparagraphs “a,” “d,” “z” of part 2 of article 112 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (intentional infliction of moderate harm to health out of hooligan motives and with the use of weapons).

The accused did not admit his guilt. According to him, the shooting was a “forced measure for defense.”

The criminal case will be heard by the Soviet District Court of Krasnoyarsk. The man faces up to 12 years in prison.

At the same time, the investigative authorities of Krasnoyarsk did not specify what exactly caused the conflict, and it is also unknown whether the second participant in the fight was detained.
