Moscow, Russia – Neighbors of the suspects involved in the Crocus City Hall shooting have shed light on the backgrounds of the perpetrators, revealing details about their lives prior to the violent incident. One of the individuals linked to the attack was known to have a history of aggressive behavior when intoxicated, while another had a thriving career as a barber. The suspects, a father and his two sons, were brought before a Moscow court on suspicions of aiding the terrorists responsible for the tragic deaths of at least 139 concert attendees.
Shamsidin Fariduni, identified as one of the four shooters apprehended by Moscow’s security forces, allegedly threatened a dog walker in a drunken rage not long ago. Residents in the area recalled a concerning encounter with Fariduni, where he nearly ran over a dog walker and proceeded to engage in a hostile confrontation. On the other hand, 19-year-old Muhammadsobir Faizov, another suspect, was described as a skilled barber by his neighbors in Ivanovo, where he had established a loyal clientele.
According to reports, Faizov maintained a calm demeanor and worked diligently at local barber shops, with residents noting his dedication to his craft. However, following the attack at Crocus City Hall, the owner of the barbershop where Faizov worked has reportedly received threatening messages, prompting safety concerns. Meanwhile, the third suspect, Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, was known for his passion for amateur wrestling and was often seen training at a Mixed Martial Arts gym in Novosibirsk.
As the investigation unfolds, details have emerged linking the suspects to the heinous crime that took place at Crocus City Hall. Family members of the suspects, including a 62-year-old father and his sons, have been implicated in facilitating the attack through logistical support and vehicle provision. The family, originally from Tajikistan, reportedly had knowledge of transportation routes used during the attack, with the younger members allegedly recruited to aid in planning and execution.
The suspects remain in custody as authorities continue their investigation into the attack, which resulted in numerous casualties and injuries. The involvement of radical Islamists has been cited by Russian President Vladimir Putin, though accusations of Ukrainian involvement have been refuted. Amidst the ongoing investigation, questions surrounding the motives behind the attack persist, with authorities working to establish a clearer picture of the events leading up to the tragic incident at Crocus City Hall.
The repercussions of the attack have reverberated through the community, with victims still in serious condition and families grappling with the aftermath of the violence. As the nation mourns the lives lost, efforts to understand the roots of extremism and prevent future tragedies are at the forefront of the public discourse.
