On March 26, 2025, a shootout took place in the Olgino Park residential complex in the city of Zheleznodorozhny near Moscow, which is still shrouded in many questions. The next day, March 27, special services are actively working at the scene of the incident and in the adjacent forest park, trying to reconstruct the events and establish where the target of the alleged killer was being observed from. This was reported by the Telegram channel Baza, citing its sources.
According to preliminary data, the target of the attack was a high-ranking employee of one of the enterprises of the Russian defense complex. On Tuesday morning, an unknown person was waiting for him at the entrance to his home and opened fire as soon as the man left the house. The situation changed dramatically when the victim's security guard, who was nearby, began shooting back. The attacker had to flee. Sources specify that he fled in a beige Zhiguli car, which was later found abandoned in a forest belt near Balashikha. The body of a man, presumably the shooter himself, was found inside the car. It is still unclear whether he died at the hands of accomplices or committed suicide after the failed assassination attempt.
An unusual turn of events occurred in the courtyard of a residential complex, where operatives came across a suitcase with suspicious contents. At the moment, experts have not confirmed whether the object inside was an explosive device, but the fact of its discovery strengthened the version of a carefully planned attack. The work of sappers and investigators on the scene continues to exclude additional threats to residents.
An hour after the shootout, police detained another man who, according to Baza, could have been involved in the assassination attempt. His identity and subsequent fate remain unknown, adding to the mystery of the investigation. There have been no official comments from law enforcement agencies, but sources suggest that the detainee could have been an accomplice or observer.
The Olgino Park residential complex, located in a quiet area of Zheleznodorozhny, has rarely been the scene of such incidents. Local residents interviewed by journalists spoke of the panic that gripped the courtyard after the first shots.
