On February 4, 2024, around 12:39 AM, a 25-year-old woman called the emergency services to report a shooting incident in a stairwell, where a mysterious man had shot her in the lower abdomen. During the call, she requested an ambulance and confirmed that she had been shot with a firearm. The situation escalated as police and emergency medical teams were dispatched immediately to the scene in Holvasti, Tampere, to aid the victim and investigate the scene.

Witness reports indicated that the victim's sister corroborated her story upon the arrival of law enforcement. The victim had come into their residence in a distressed state, stating that a man dressed in dark attire shot her in the dark stairwell. Despite the chaos, they did not disclose significant details regarding a taxi that had left the apartment complex shortly before the incident, which was carrying two women and two children.
