Fatal brawl in front of a Parisian high school: the victim had already received a stab wound a week earlier, in an altercation near another high school

The 16-year-old teenager, who died after a brawl in which he was stabbed on Tuesday December 17 in Paris, had already been the victim of a stabbing on December 10, we learned from Le Parisien.

The events occurred in front of another school, in this case the René Cassin vocational high school, in the 16th arrondissement of the capital. The young teenager was then injured in the thigh. An investigation had been opened for “intentional violence in meetings near a school”, the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed to our colleagues.

The victim, although injured, and a second boy with whom she was arrested, had denied their involvement in the fight. The first elements of the investigation, however, reported that this young boy had had an “altercation with a student of René Cassin who allegedly stabbed him”, it is specified.

Stabbed in the head

Seven days later, this Tuesday, December 17, he was again involved in a violent brawl near the Rodin high school, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Stabbed in the head and in cardiorespiratory arrest, he was transported in serious condition to the Pitié Salpêtrière hospital, before dying, shortly before 9 a.m. He was from Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne).

A 16-year-old person, suspected of having participated in the altercation, was arrested and an investigation into murder was opened. It is carried out by Paris territorial security police officers.
