Other sources indicate that the reason for the argument remains unknown but Istanbul's local police arrested the three culprits and sent them to prison.

A shop owner who owned a place inside the building said, "When I came to open my shop, I heard that they threw a man down from upstairs." 

Fettah Karakurt said, "The incident happened early in the morning. When I came to open my shop, I heard that they threw a man down from the top. This building had already been evacuated. The people who were doing prostitution here may have also used drugs. They threw a person who we know was a foreign national down from the third floor. 4-5 people escaped in a group. Other than that, I have no other information." 

He further stated that the young man was spotted around the area occasionally with several women around him. He added that he had information about the Moroccan national and that the people who threw him outside the building escaped after the incident.
