According to La DH, it was a homophobic ambush that went wrong. The son of the victim, who was shot dead, had arranged a meeting via the dating app Grindr, which is popular, in particular, within the LGBTQIA+ community. It was there that the criminals, behind a fake profile, had arranged a “date” with JB-S., son of the victim killed last night. The father, alerted by the ruckus, tried to smooth out the situation which was degenerating with his son.

This is unfortunately not the first case of homophobic ambush in Brussels. Last June, at least five cases of violence using the same modus operandi were dealt with by the police authorities, particularly in the west of Brussels.
