In Ümraniye, Yalçınay Yıldız, who was in the vehicle during the armed attack that killed 21-year-old footballer Kubilay Kaan Kundakçı, recounted the events. Yıldız stated that Alaattin Kadayıfçıoğlu opened the car door and said, 'I won't see you here again,' and immediately opened fire on Kundakçı.
An indictment has been prepared for 10 suspects regarding the armed attack in Ümraniye that resulted in the death of amateur footballer Kubilay Kaan Kundakçı (21).
In the indictment prepared by the Anatolian Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, based on the expert examination of security camera footage, it was described that two vehicles pulled up in front of the car carrying the deceased Kubilay Kaan Kundakçı, and suspect Alaattin Kadayıfçıoğlu, getting out of one of the vehicles, drew a gun from his waist, opened the front passenger door of the victim's car, and opened fire.
In the indictment, it was stated that the single bullet that hit Kundakçı caused a fatal injury, and the Forensic Medicine Report indicated that the bullet caused internal bleeding due to damage to internal organs and major blood vessels, leading to death.
"I WON'T SEE YOU HERE AGAIN" AND OPENED FIRE
The indictment included the testimony of Yalçınay Yıldız, who was in the vehicle during the incident, as a witness. In his statement, Yıldız stated that during a video call with Aleyna Tutuş (Kalaycıoğlu) prior to the incident, threatening expressions were used.
Witness Yıldız recounted that at the moment of the attack, suspect Kadayıfçıoğlu opened the car door, saying "I won't see you here again," and immediately opened fire. Yıldız added that the wounded Kundakçı said "I've been hit" while holding his stomach, and the attackers fled the scene in two vehicles.
The indictment noted that expert reports analyzing vehicle movements and phone traffic showed that the suspects had come and gone from the area hours before the incident, raising strong suspicion that the attack was not spontaneous but planned.
HTS records, mobile phone examinations, and forensic reports indicated intensive communication among the suspects before the incident, with some contacts continuing afterward.
REQUEST FOR LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR 3 SUSPECTS
In the prepared indictment, it was requested that suspect Alaattin Kadayıfçıoğlu be sentenced to life imprisonment for "intentional killing," and suspects Aleyna Tutuş and Zuhal Kalaycıoğlu for "incitement to intentional killing."
The indictment also demanded that suspects Hüseyin Can Avcı, Mustafa Rece, and Bilal Kadayıfçıoğlu be punished with 10 to 15 years in prison for "aiding intentional killing." Metin Kadayıfçıoğlu was requested to be sentenced to 1 to 10 years in prison for "destruction, concealment, or alteration of crime evidence" and "harboring a criminal."
For suspect Engin Taşkıran, a prison sentence of 6 months to 10 years was requested for "harboring a criminal" and "destruction, concealment, or alteration of crime evidence."
In the indictment, suspects İzzet Yıldızhan and Ahmet Özkoç were requested to be sentenced to 6 months to 5 years in prison for "harboring a criminal."

On March 19, in Tatlısu Neighborhood, Sıddık Street, Kundakçı, who was sitting in a parked car with a friend, was seriously injured when one of the suspects arriving at the scene in two vehicles opened fire with a gun, and he died in the hospital where he was taken.
