A 17-year-old was fatally injured on Monday evening in Nîmes (Gard), victim of a shooting in the popular district of Mas de Mingue, a week after an almost similar tragedy in another deprived area of the city.
The teenager died after his transfer to the emergency department of the CHU de Nîmes, confirmed the vice-prosecutor of the Republic of Nîmes Patrick Bottero.
The shooting, shortly after 7 p.m., also left two injured: another teenager, found on the scene as soon as help arrived, and another young person discovered later, more slightly injured, still in the neighborhood.
A vehicle found on fire
The shooter (s) have not yet been arrested. A vehicle, which may have been used for this operation, was found set on fire nearby later in the evening.
The investigation, entrusted to the judicial police, was opened for “murder and attempted murder in an organized group, criminal conspiracy and destruction by fire”.
Nîmes had experienced a similar event barely a week ago, on January 18, with the death of a young man in a shooting with an assault rifle in the district of Pissevin, another of those sectors of the city plagued by drug trafficking.
