The incident reportedly occurred at a residential facility. German authorities have identified a 28-year-old Somali man as the suspect. Police and prosecutors are investigating the circumstances of the incident, including the motive and whether it was connected to an earlier dispute between the two men.

Moodey was a veteran journalist who worked in Somali media for many years. In 2014, he was arrested in Ethiopia and later sentenced to 27 years in prison under the country’s anti-terrorism laws. The International Federation of Journalists and the National Union of Somali Journalists called for his release at the time, citing concerns over press freedom.

The circumstances surrounding his death remain under investigation, with German authorities expected to provide further information as the case develops.
