Shooting

The shooting took place on August 1, 2019.[1] At the beginning of that day at 9:30, Nađ went to a bar where he drank Pelinkovac. At 10:00, he arrived at his hairdresser in Vrbik, where he had been going to cut his hair cut for years. Witnesses say he was in a good mood. At 10:30 following the haircut, he went to a nearby cafe. Before leaving the cafe, he had been quoted as telling a friend, “This is the last time you see me.” It is not known what he did between leaving the cafe and starting firing. At 21:10, he arrived on Cimermanova 2 street where Maja Tojagić, his former girlfriend lived. At 21:15, he encountered Maja's 10-year-old son Paul and sent him to see who was in the house. 21:21, he shot 6 people in the house, leaving a baby who was in the house alive. At 21:30, he fled the scene via car from the Kajzerica district to the Brezovica district, where his mother resided. The police were able to trace him via his mobile phone and came to his location. On August 2, at about 3:00, surrounded by police, he committed suicide in the backyard of the Caritas Home for Orphans.[2]
