A man in his fifties was “executed” by gunfire while he was driving his car on Tuesday in Doubs, and the perpetrator fled, announced the Montbéliard prosecutor, confirming information from The Republican East.
“An execution in the street”
“It’s an execution in the middle of the street, these are extremely serious facts,” declared public prosecutor Paul-Edouard Lallois, who went to the crime scene. On the video surveillance cameras of the commune of Allezcourt, near Montbéliard, “we see this man already armed, who goes up to the victim, brandishes his weapon and, in a very cold manner, fires several shots,” added the magistrate who opened an investigation for “assassination”.

Tuesday around 2:30 p.m., this individual on foot left a sidewalk and headed straight towards a car that was maneuvering. “The individual takes a handgun out of the back of his pants, points it at the driver’s window and fires it several times,” Mr. Lallois explains.
The wanted shooter
“The car traveled several hundred meters before stopping on a sidewalk,” he said. The gunshot-wounded driver then managed to escape from his car with the help of two witnesses. Conscious when help arrived, he quickly died from his injuries. Losing control of his car, he hit another vehicle driven by a 50-year-old woman, who was slightly injured, according to firefighters.
The shooter “fled in his vehicle which was parked nearby”, he is actively sought by the police, said the prosecutor. The investigation was entrusted to the local judicial police service at the Montbéliard police station.
