Gilbert lost consciousness and was hospitalized, but unfortunately passed away a few days later due to his injuries.

An 85-year-old man named Gilbert died following a violent altercation with a younger man at a Lidl store in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean on March 8, 2025.

The incident began when Gilbert left his shopping cart to retrieve a product, only to return and find the suspect in his place, leading to a heated verbal exchange.

Surveillance footage of the suspect has been released to the public to aid in identifying him.

During the dispute, the suspect pushed Gilbert to the ground, causing him to sustain serious injuries.

The search notice for the suspect was issued at the request of the Brussels Public Prosecutor's Office.

Local authorities made an appeal for information on April 24, 2025, urging anyone with details to come forward.
