a young man shot dead in a working-class neighborhood

A young man was shot dead early Monday afternoon in a popular district of Angoulême. Contacted by AFP, the Angoulême prosecutor’s office confirmed the homicide, without communicating more details at this stage on the circumstances and the motive.

The tragedy occurred in a building in the Basseau district, a district known as “republican reconquest”. The victim was hit by a firearm in particular in the chest and was found face down by residents, said the source close to the file.

The investigators went to the scene, as well as the judicial identification and the prosecutor of the Republic of Angoulême.
