      The Angel of Death works in very mysterious ways. 

On the evening of 6 April in Mersin, after finishing a transport job Ahmet
Karatepe (28) learned that his grandmother Fatma Karatepe in Adana had
spilled boiling water on her leg so he hopped on his motorcycle to go see
her.

However (!), as Karatepe approached Fatma hanım's home in Adana's
Seyhan district he passed a taxi stand on Akif Ersoy Avenue and was hit
in his back by a bullet fired by two individuals on motorcycles.  As 
Karatepe fell to the ground, the two shooters rained down bullets on
the taxi stand and fled. 

Karatepe passed away at a nearby hospital.  As for the attackers, police
determined their identities as İbrahim Efe K. and Aydın T.  It turned out
that earlier that same day at around noon a car had hit the two motorcycles,
prompting İbrahim Efe K. and Aydın T. to beat the car's driver.  The
nearby (and chivalrous) taxi drivers objected to the two beating a man
in front of his wife and pummeled them. 

For revenge, İbrahim Efe K. and Aydın T. executed the armed attack on
the taxi stand but hit the passing Karatepe by accident.  His father Erdal
Karatepe lamented that "if the bullets hadn't hit my son they would have
hit someone else.  He was a fine fellow and everyone liked him very 
much.  We hoped to have him get married and have been preparing a 
dowry for his prospective bride but instead, I'm putting him in a grave
at a young age.  I want the suspects to be caught as soon as possible."
