The main suspect in the murder of Ahmad Shakara in Jaffa was arrested today (Sunday) upon his entry into Israel through the Jordan River border crossing, after fleeing to Jordan following the shooting. The murder occurred on August 28 on Jerusalem Boulevard in Jaffa, when Shakara, 28, was riding his bicycle and was shot dead by an armed man who emerged from a Grand Cherokee vehicle. Shortly after the murder, the Central Unit of the Tel Aviv District arrested two young residents of Jaffa on suspicion of involvement, and during their arrest, a loaded gun and the suspect vehicle were seized. An arrest warrant was issued for the third suspect, a Jaffa resident in his 20s, who fled to Jordan. Today, upon his entry into Israel, detectives from the Central Unit arrested him at the border crossing. Tomorrow, the police are expected to request an extension of his remand at the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court. The article describes the sequence of events based on police spokesperson statements.
