A 41-year-old man was shot dead on the terrace of a hotel in Rijswijk, in the province of Zuid-Holland, shortly before 6pm on Thursday 1 May 2025. The terrace was busy at the time. Witnesses described a man walking up with his face uncovered, firing three shots at close range and running off into the park surrounding the hotel. The victim, a Turkish national, died at the scene. Police released a description and images of the gunman, who remains at large, and of a second suspect who was seen standing with him at the entrance to the park for several minutes before the shooting. Investigators treat the killing as a contract killing. The victim had reported threats against his life shortly beforehand; he was himself wanted in Turkey, where prosecutors suspected him of involvement in the shooting of a businessman and his driver in the Turkish-controlled north of Cyprus in 2022, and he had recently made public statements about prominent Turkish political and business figures. On 13 November 2025 a 47-year-old man was arrested in Germany at the request of the Dutch authorities on suspicion of involvement, and he was surrendered to the Netherlands at the end of January 2026; he is not suspected of firing the shots, and how he is connected to the case has not been made public. On 23 March 2026 a 34-year-old Turkish man with no fixed address was arrested in France, suspected of being the gunman; he was held there on a weapons charge while the Netherlands sought his surrender. Police are still looking for a third person believed to have been involved.
