Nessim Ramdane, a VTC driver and amateur footballer, aged around 30, was shot dead in his vehicle on October 4 around 4:30 a.m. The suspect is a 14-year-old boy.
Nessim Ramdane, known to be “a man without history”, was a father passionate about football, in his thirties. On the night of October 3 to 4, around 4:30 a.m., he was shot in the head in the 3rd arrondissement of Marseille, while he was in his vehicle. The suspect, a 14-year-old boy, was identified as the shooter.
Shot in the skull
According to BFMTVNessim was simply working to provide for his family’s needs that night, as Nicolas Bessone, public prosecutor of Marseille, pointed out during a press conference this Sunday, October 6. After accepting a ride, he took two men in his car, including the teenager responsible for eliminating another person in a context of revenge.
While heading towards the Félix Pyat city, the passengers thought they saw their target in the street and asked the driver to stop and wait for them. Nessim, refusing to comply, was shot in cold blood in the back of the head by the 14-year-old armed with a 357 Magnum.
The prosecutor quickly dismissed the idea of a settling of scores linked to drug trafficking, clearly stating that Nessim had no connection with this environment.
Football fan
Father of four children, Nessim Ramdane was very popular, particularly in the regional football clubs where he had spent a large part of his life. Passionate about football since his childhood, he played in various clubs such as Endoume, Athlético de Marseille, Fos-sur-Mer, Carnoux, Saint-Zacharie and Six-Fours-les-Plages.
His tragic death profoundly shook the world of amateur football. Nessim was not only a player, he was also involved as an educator, passing on his passion to young people. Fabrice Coulomb, sporting director of Carnoux Football Club, expressed general sadness in a tribute on Facebook, describing Nessim as an upright and respectful man, admired by all those who knew him.
His former club, ES Fos-sur-Mer, also paid tribute to “a person with a big heart and an exceptional player”highlighting his determined character but also his endearing and respectful side. The Var district paid tribute to his memory by evoking his role as “player, captain, educator and technical manager”and the Saint-Zacharie club observed a minute of silence in his honor at the François Coulomb stadium.
Nessim Ramdane is unanimously described as “a man with a big heart, a great dad and a faithful friend”.
