The police managed to make the link between two cases observed on the night of September 7 to 8 in Besançon and Larnod. A link between shootings observed in the street and this serious accident, which occurred after a refusal to comply. The young man suspected in these two cases was in hospital. At the end of the week, he was able to be interviewed by investigators and indicted.
Shooting on rue des Chalets
The first act of this violent evening began around midnight. In the peaceful Mouillère district, residents of rue des Chalets heard three detonations. Shots were fired towards a small two-story building. According to initial information, a man in a car fired his weapon by extending his arm through his door. No people were injured. Shell casings were collected at the scene and officers obtained the license plate number matching the suspect's car.
Larnod coast accident
An hour later, outside Besançon, a crew from the anti-crime brigade spotted the fugitive's vehicle. They tried to stop him but the driver fled in the direction of Beure. He took the RN 83 towards Larnod before taking the coast at full speed. A few hundred meters further on, he collided head-on with two young people who were traveling in the opposite direction. In the vehicle that caused the accident, firefighters took care of two men aged 23 and 26. In the second, a 21-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl. All four were seriously injured.
The man placed under judicial supervision
After a long convalescence, the main suspect was questioned at the end of last week. His co-pilot was exonerated. The weapon used on rue des Chalets was found by a resident of Beure. It had probably been thrown away in a hurry during the chase. The alleged shooter was indicted and placed under judicial supervision, confirms the Besançon public prosecutor's office. The multiple operations he underwent after this shock still require daily care. A judicial investigation into armed violence has been opened and the investigation is continuing to understand the motivations of this man.
