Limited details have surfaced from eyewitnesses at the crime scene.
Witnesses claim to have seen a person attack the lawyer and wrestle him to the ground in a stairwell shortly before he was shot at least twice. One of the people brought in for questioning is a senior lawyer who was previously banned from contacting Lilja, although it’s not clear why exactly that is. Other witnesses said a black SUV fled the scene with police in pursuit shortly after the shooting. (Complex)
