He died of his injuries on Saturday November 2.
A 19-year-old suspect was arrested this Monday in Marseille and taken into police custody, according to our information.
The investigation is progressing after the death of Nicolas, 22, in a shooting on October 31 in Drôme. A suspect was arrested in Marseille by BAC Nord police officers at the end of the day on November 4, according to a police source at the TF1/LCI police-justice service. The 19-year-old young man has since been taken into police custody, according to the same source.
Three injured, including one dead
This shooting took place on the night of October 31 to November 1, in front of a nightclub in Saint-Péray, in the suburbs of Valence (Drôme). A man dressed in a balaclava and black clothing allegedly fired a handgun at customers located in front of the establishment. Nicolas, aged 22, injured in the head, was transported in absolute emergency to the Valence hospital center, with a life-threatening condition, before dying from his injuries on Saturday. A customer and a security guard at the establishment, also in the queue, were slightly injured in the legs.
Nicolas was a Rugby player and played in the same club as young Thomas, killed during a village festival at the end of 2023 in Crépol. The RC Romanais Péageois club paid tribute to the victim in a post on Instagram, explaining that they were “hit in the heart again since Thursday evening.”
A white march in tribute to the young man will take place on Wednesday afternoon, we learned from the rugby club on Monday.
