A 19-year-old suspected of involvement in the recent fatal shooting of a 5-year-old boy in Markopoulo, east of Athens, is now in the custody of the Greek Police (ELAS), state broadcaster ERT reported on Monday.

A 5-year-old boy was killed in a targeted ambush Friday on his family's vehicle in Markopoulo, near Athens. 

The boy's family was driving through the area when gunmen opened fire, striking the child fatally in the head.

It would appear that the perpetrators of the deadly attack on a car in Markopoulo, eastern Attica, in which a five-year-old Roma boy died as a result of a gunshot to the head, had planned an ambush in advance.

Police at the crime scene recovered fifteen 9 mm and eight 40 mm casings, indicating that the attackers used two guns in the ambush.
