In Ümraniye, Kubilay Kaan Kundakçı (21), who was allegedly mediating to reconcile rapper Vahap Canbay and singer Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu, was killed as a result of gunfire opened by suspects arriving in vehicles with flashing lights. Father Cemil Kundakçı said, "My son passed away while trying to do a good deed between two people. A bright, young child. Vahap Canbay has a girlfriend who is a singer named Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu. He wanted to reconcile them. According to the information I received, the suspect has a high probability of being smuggled by sea," he said. Meanwhile, it was learned that Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu was detained while images of the vehicles used by the suspects arriving at the scene emerged.
YOUNG FOOTBALLER KILLED IN ARMED ATTACK The incident occurred on the night of March 19 on Sıddık Street in Ümraniye. According to allegations, rapper Vahap Canbay, who is part of the Canbay & Wolker group, wanted to reconcile with singer Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu, with whom he had recently broken up. Canbay asked his friend Kubilay Kundakçı (21), with whom he had a good relationship, for help. Kubilay Kundakçı went to the front of the studio where Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu was located, along with Vahap Canbay and his friends.
Kubilay Kaan Kundakçı While the group was waiting inside the vehicle, it was alleged that suspects arriving at the scene in luxury vehicles with flashing lights carried out the attack. One of the suspects, A. K., opened fire on the group inside the vehicle. The 21-year-old footballer Kubilay Kundakçı was seriously injured by the bullets.
The young man, who was taken to the hospital, could not be saved despite all interventions and passed away. The police launched an operation to capture the fugitive suspect A. K., who fled the scene and whose identity was determined. Kundakçı's body was taken to the Forensic Medicine Institution morgue to determine the exact cause of death.
"MY SON DIED WHILE TRYING TO DO A GOOD DEED" Waiting in front of the Forensic Medicine Institution, father Cemil Kundakçı stated that his son played football for Kars 36 Spor and had come to Istanbul for the holiday, saying: "My son is 21 years old. He plays football for Kars 36 Spor. I just sent him there this year; it has been 2-3 months since he went. He came for a three-day holiday due to the holiday. My son has artist friends. There are rapper kids from Bağcılar, the duo Canbay & Wolker. They are like brothers, friends. Among them, Vahap Canbay has a girlfriend who is also a singer named Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu.
Vahap Canbay-Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu They broke up 15-20 days ago. Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu knows my son Kubilay; their dialogues were good, and she liked him. They had a good relationship. Vahap Canbay loves my son like a brother. They are asking my son for a favor. They say, 'Aleyna sister loves you, talk to her for us, I want to reconcile, I want to meet.' And my son went to the studio where Aleyna works in Ümraniye last night with Vahap Canbay and another singer friend, if I remember correctly, his name was Yalçın.
"WHO GAVE THE INFORMATION?" Describing how the attack occurred, Kundakçı said: "While they were waiting in the car, a person whose name I learned was A. K., the son of a businessman from Diyarbakır, comes, knocks on the car window, and opens the door. Vahap Canbay gets out. I don't know what happened between them, but this person opens fire. When he fires, the bullet hits my son. It enters from one side of his body and exits from the other side, and my son passed away in the hospital. He was taken to the hospital in serious condition and passed away.
My son passed away while trying to do a good deed between two people. A bright, young child. And how did this person come here? Who told him that my son and Vahap Canbay were there? He received information from someone. Who could he get this information from? He could have gotten it from Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu, or as far as I know, Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu's mother did not want her daughter to meet with Vahap Canbay.
And it is said that they were in contact with the person who shot my son through social media. I received this information. Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu's mother may have directed him. I don't think Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu did it; I mean, I don't think so because she loved my son. But anything is possible," he said.
"ALEYNA KALAYCIOĞLU KNOWS ABOUT THE SITUATION" Father, who wants his son's killer to be caught as soon as possible, said, "My son is dead. There are camera recordings in the car; I think a ban has been imposed. In the camera footage, a scream similar to Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu's scream is heard. I think this happens after the shooting incident; a scream is heard. So Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu knows about this situation. The shooter has fled, and the shooter has not been caught yet. And according to the information I received, there is a high probability of being smuggled by sea. Justice and the law need to pay attention and investigate this urgently. They came with a vehicle with flashing lights. This person needs to be caught. The suspect's father has been the president of a sports club. My son was also an athlete. He will come out and say, 'My son did this, here, I am handing over my son.' He will say that the son of a person who shows interest in young people is a young killer, a killer of an athlete. He will come out and hand over his son. My son's blood will not be left on the ground," he said.
"I TRUST JUSTICE" Cemil Kundakçı said, "The person who shot my son will face justice. The law must bring him to light. I trust the law and justice. I am asking, I am asking. State officials also have children, they have offspring. They should think of this issue as if it were done to their own children and find my son's killer and give him his punishment. As a father, I am asking, I am asking from other fathers. My wife is crying; she cannot stand. There are mothers; those who are responsible in the law should push their husbands, they should push them to go after this incident. My son's killer should come to light. I am also asking you, please do not close this case. Go after it, go after it until it comes to light," he expressed.
ALEYNA IN CUSTODY Meanwhile, it was learned that Aleyna Kalaycıoğlu was detained while images of the vehicles used by the suspects arriving at the scene emerged.
