Zeeburgereiland gas station shooter (32) sentenced to 18 months in prison

A 32-year-old man was sentenced to 18 months in prison and mandatory psychiatric treatment for shooting a victim at an Amsterdam gas station in October 2025. The court noted that the defendant was likely experiencing a psychotic episode during the attack and related assaults committed the previous day.

A 32-year-old man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for shooting another man at a gas station on Zuiderzeeweg in Amsterdam on October 8, 2025. The incident began when the perpetrator demanded the victim's car keys and registration at gunpoint before shooting him in the thigh. Following a physical struggle, the victim managed to disarm the attacker and contact the police, who arrested the suspect nearby. Forensic evidence, including fingerprints and DNA found on the weapon, linked the man to the scene. The defendant was also found guilty of assaulting two other people on the preceding day. The court determined that the man was suffering from a psychotic episode and drug addiction during these events, as he claimed to have no memory of the incidents. Consequently, the judge imposed a sentence of 18 months in prison along with mandatory psychiatric treatment under specific conditions to address his mental health and addiction issues following his incarceration.
