Kohtla-Järve shooting leaves one dead and sparks police manhunt

Police in Kohtla-Järve are conducting a major manhunt following a violent conflict involving a group of approximately 20 people on Sunday evening. The incident, which reportedly involved gunfire, resulted in the death of a 21-year-old man who died while being transported to the hospital.

Several other individuals were injured, including a 23-year-old, a 19-year-old, and a 17-year-old. Investigators believe the violence was an escalation of a conflict between two groups that occurred the previous Friday.

Authorities are currently searching for three suspects: a 50-year-old named Konstantin, a 46-year-old named Sergei, and a 25-year-old named Roman. Nikita Golovini, head of the Jõhvi police department, stated that weapon-related incidents are a top priority and that significant resources are being deployed to identify and apprehend all those involved. A criminal investigation has been launched to determine the exact circumstances of the escalation.
