The boy was arrested on Tuesday 10 November on the Rietbaan in Capelle aan den IJssel. The shooting happened on Saturday 7 November at the Weverpad in Schiedam, where 19-year-old Tico from Schiedam died at the scene. Two other men were wounded: one was taken to hospital but is out of danger, and the other suffered minor injuries.
The shots were fired at about 17:00 in the front garden of a house on the Weverpad. Three young men were hit.
The shooting happened in the Woudhoek district of Schiedam. Flowers and candles were laid at the house where Tico was shot, and dozens of people gathered there to remember him.
Mayor Harald Bergmann earlier spoke about the violence and the young age of the arrested suspect. "It is terrible and it touches all of us here," he said. "A 19-year-old from our town, losing his life like that – it has really shaken the city."
