Halil Ay (4 February 1989 – 6 August 2023) was a Kurdish drug dealer and gangster. He made a name for himself after surviving an assassination attempt on the Golden Horn Bridge in January 2023, and after his death in France.

Life

Halil Ay was born on 4 February 1989 in Gerger, Adıyaman. His family, of Zaza Kurd origin, later moved to Adana. After graduating from high school, he entered the world of crime and after a while he came into conflict with many gangs in Adana. Thinking that he had made enemies, he migrated to Istanbul.

On 14 January 2023, he survived an assassination attempt on the Golden Horn Bridge and his friend Cumali Aslan, who was with him at the time, died. This attempt was organised using FaceTime, citing Ay's hostility towards the Dalton gang and the Gündoğmuş gang. The attack took place at midnight when Ay and three friends were returning home in a white BMW car from a nightclub in Şişli, Istanbul. The police found 41 bullet casings at the scene. The three perpetrators of the attack fled on foot due to the breakdown of their car and called someone to pick them up. The attackers were caught by the police two days later.

Death

Ay, after surviving the assassination attempt, first left Istanbul and travelled to Greece, and from there he went to France with a fake identity. In the first days of August 2023, Gülbey Dilsiz, a hitman for Uğurcan Gündoğmuş's gang, travelled illegally to France.

On 6 August 2023, Ay was attacked by Gülbey Dilsiz at a gîte in Isère, where he resided. He was badly wounded in the chest, but he fought back with his own pistol. He killed Dilsiz and called for help by phone, but he bled to death before paramedics arrived at the scene. Twelve bullet casings were found at the scene.

Both Gülbey Dilsiz and Uğurcan Gündoğmuş were also Zaza Kurds from Nazımiye, Tunceli.
