A teenager was stabbed to death in Aulnay-sous-Bois on the evening of Friday October 11. An investigation was opened by the Bobigny public prosecutor’s office to clarify the reasons for this murder.
A new tragedy has struck the town of Aulnay-sous-Bois. Friday evening, a 16-year-old boy died from his injuries after being violently stabbed.
The attack, which occurred near a fast food restaurant, also left another injured, whose life is no longer in danger. The Bobigny public prosecutor’s office opened an investigation for “murder by an organized gang” and “attempted murder by an organized gang” and entrusted it to the departmental judicial police service of Seine-Saint-Denis (SDPJ 93).
An attack with murky circumstances
The motivations for this attack remain unclear for the moment. The LR mayor of Aulnay-sous-Bois, Bruno Beschizza, expressed his dismay at this tragedy and appealed for calm. According to him, this attack does not seem linked to the neighborhood rivalries which can sometimes shake the city.
Investigators are instead favoring the hypothesis of an altercation between teenagers which degenerated in a tragic manner. The police are mobilized to find the perpetrators of this crime and prevent possible reprisals. This attack caused shock waves in the city. The residents are traumatized and the questions are multiplying.
The investigation continues
How could such an act of violence happen? What are the ways to combat urban violence? Local authorities announced the establishment of a psychological unit to support students at the Jean-Zay high school, where the deceased teenager attended school.
Investigators from the Seine-Saint-Denis departmental judicial police service are responsible for shedding light on this matter. They are in particular looking for witnesses who could provide key elements to the investigation. Surveillance cameras in the area could also provide valuable clues. For the moment, the motivations of the attackers remain unknown.
Faced with this tragedy, the authorities are calling for everyone to be vigilant and responsible. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious behavior to the authorities. The mayor of Aulnay-sous-Bois also called to respect the mourning of the victim’s family and to let justice do its work.
