Shooter Who Killed Prison Guard Marcel Blijd on Crowded Terrace Identified as 37-Year-Old Amin D. from Amsterdam-Noord
Amin D., a 37-year-old resident of Amsterdam-Noord known locally as 'Soma', has been identified as the man who fatally shot prison guard Marcel Blijd on a crowded terrace at NDSM-kade. Both men had previously crossed paths while detained in facilities where Blijd worked for over thirty years, though police are investigating whether this prior acquaintance influenced the shooting. Amin D., described by acquaintances as a weapon expert with a history of violent crimes and previous gunshot wounds, engaged in a verbal altercation before drawing a pistol and firing. After the incident, he discarded the weapon in the water and waited for police arrest. The event occurred on a sunny Friday afternoon, prompting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of the well-liked guard.
