Following the incident, teams from the Public Security Branch Office's Murder Bureau launched an investigation and identified the suspect who opened fire, Hamza K., by examining dozens of cameras along the motorcycle's route.

Hamza K., who was trying to flee abroad, was taken into custody. It was learned that Hamza K., who was taken to the Public Security Branch Office's Murder Bureau, said, "There was a debt issue between us. I asked for it, he didn't give it. That's why I shot him." The suspect was referred to the courthouse following his interrogation.
