Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the shooting at Clemenceau Metro Station on 15 February that resulted in the death of 19-year-old Souleyman Sow, Brussels public prosecutor’s office confirms.
The individuals arrested include the alleged shooter, a minor who reportedly drove the car used in the incident, and two men accused of stealing that vehicle.
The incident occurred on Saturday, 15 February, around 21:30, in an area already under heightened police surveillance due to previous drug-related shootings.

Two suspects were charged with stealing the vehicle. One was released under conditions, while the other was detained under an arrest warrant for alleged involvement in criminal activities with intent to commit murder.”
Investigators also identified the suspects allegedly in the vehicle, including the supposed shooter.
“The alleged driver, a minor, has been placed in a secure juvenile facility. The passenger, suspected of killing the victim, is charged with murder and forming a criminal association with intent to murder, and has been detained under an arrest warrant.”
All four suspects deny any involvement in the incident or refuse to make any statements.
