Murder of Enver Şimşek
Enver Şimşek (4 December 1961 – 11 September 2000) was a Turkish-born businessman in Germany who was the first victim of the series of murders by the National Socialist Underground (NSU) terrorist group. The owner of a flower shop in Schlüchtern in Hesse, he was gunned down on 9 September 2000 at a mobile flower stand in Nuremberg. Two days later he died in a hospital as a result of injuries sustained in the attack.
Enver Şimşek immigrated to Germany from Turkey in 1985. He first worked in a factory and then started his own flower shop. This eventually grew into a flower wholesale business which served several shops and flower stands.
A few years before his murder, Şimşek became more religious, took part in Hajj with his wife and donated money to the local Islamic community. He considered opening a Quran school in Schlüchtern and sent his children to a religious boarding school.
Enver Şimşek was married and the father of two children, Semiya and Abdulkerim.
On 9 September 2000, Şimşek was operating a flower stand in Nuremberg. This was unusual, as he normally only delivered goods for sale at the stand. On this day, however, he had taken over sales at the stand while the normal operator was on vacation.
Eight shots were fired at Şimşek between 12:45 pm and 2:15 pm. He was transported to hospital and died two days later without ever regaining consciousness. Forensic examination of projectiles and shell cases demonstrated that two different weapons had been used: a pistol of caliber 6.35 mm, type not identifiable, and a pistol of the Česká 83 type, caliber 7.65 mm.
The crime scene was located in the Langwasser district of Nuremberg.
The family of Enver Şimşek was represented by Seda Başay-Yıldız in the National Socialist Underground trial.
