Another suspect arrested in the Vraca shooting

(Patria) - Police officers from the Department for Blood and Sexual Offenses have deprived a man, S.F. (born 2006) from East Sarajevo of his liberty, on suspicion of having committed the criminal offense of Attempted Murder, committed on June 7, 2026, in Vraca.

The arrested person is still undergoing hospital treatment at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo (KCUS).

Prosecutors from the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office have proposed to the Cantonal Court in Sarajevo to order a one-month detention for the suspects Amel Bogućanin and Amar Garibović for the criminal offenses of attempted murder and illegal possession of weapons. Detention was proposed due to the risk of flight, risk of concealing evidence, obstruction of the investigation, influence on witnesses, repetition of the criminal offense, and the risk that the suspects' release could cause public disturbance.

The suspects are charged with attempting to kill three people on June 7, 2026, after prior agreement and with divided roles, in the area of the Vraca Memorial Park in Sarajevo.

According to the investigation, a meeting between the suspects and the victims was arranged to resolve previous disagreements. After a brief verbal altercation, the suspects fired several shots from a firearm at three men.

On that occasion, two people sustained life-threatening injuries, while a third person sustained serious bodily injuries and is on the run. A search has been launched for him.

The suspect Bogućanin was questioned at KCUS, as he is hospitalized in that health institution. The investigation is ongoing, and the results of the ballistics examination of the weapons, specifically four pistols, clothing found at the scene of the shooting, and paraffin gloves, should determine how many shots were fired, who fired them, and who all participated in the shooting.
