A white march is organized this Sunday in tribute to the two young victims of the brawl that occurred last week in Rumilly.
In tribute to Nabil and Ziyad, a white march is planned for this Sunday, November 24 in Rumilly (Haute-Savoie). Last Sunday, these two young men were involved in a brawl which cost the life of the first and seriously injured the second.
According to information from France Bleu, the procession will leave at 3 p.m. from the Nelson Mandela City Stadium, rue de la Forêt in Rumilly. The participants will stop at Place Sainte-Agathe then the march will continue to the Place d'Armes, near the scene of the tragedy, where a moment of contemplation will be observed. Speaking engagements are also planned.
In a press release, the town hall underlined the importance “in such circumstances, of attaching ourselves to collective responsibility and of standing together, so that such tragedies cannot happen again”.
The alleged perpetrator of the shooting indicted
Currently the young Ziyad, 20 years old, shot in the head, is still in a coma and in intensive care at Annecy hospital. With his friend Nabil, 19, he was one of the young people who took part in a fight in the town center of Rumilly, Sunday November 17.
The brawl probably pitted locals against residents of Annecy, located around twenty kilometers away. According to the prosecution, one of the young people from this neighboring town fell to the ground in confusion and, under the blows of his opponents, pulled out a handgun. He fired at least twice, hitting young Nabil, who died on the spot, in the chest.
The alleged perpetrator of the shooting, aged 20, “presented himself voluntarily” on Thursday November 21 at a police station in Lyon (Rhône). He admitted to being behind the shooting and was indicted “for murder and attempted murder” before being placed in pre-trial detention.
Two people who accompanied the suspect on the day of the incident had already presented themselves “spontaneously” to investigators on Monday and Tuesday. They were indicted and placed under judicial supervision, without the reason for the proceedings being specified.
