According to the authorities, the shooting which killed or injured five teenagers in the Couronneries district of on the evening of October 31 is linked to drug trafficking. But the family of the fatally shot youngster says he had no connection to drugs.

In the wrong place at the wrong time. The 15-year-old teenager who died on Saturday November 2 after being seriously injured by a gunshot to the head during a shooting in Poitiers, is a “collateral victim” who didn't have “no delinquency problem”, according to his family, who deplores “amalgams”. This shooting, which also left four injured, all minors, took place Thursday evening, October 31, in front of a kebab restaurant in the city, while a Halloween party organized by an association had brought together many young people nearby.

“Anis had no problem with delinquency or anything. He was a nice boy, a first-year student at the Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle high school in Poitiers, who played football and swimming. Me Yasmina Djoudi, lawyer for the teenager's mother, told AFP on Sunday. The Couronneries district, classified as a priority in city policy, was “lots of people that evening. There had been Halloween night, the weather was good, it was the eve of a long weekend. adds the lawyer. The teenager “told his mother that he was going to buy a sandwich before going home. And he was shot.”

According to the police and the prosecutor's office, however, brief scuffles only involved a few dozen people among the crowd present.

“Suffering from false information”

“While her only child, whom she was raising alone, was between life and death, not only did this mother receive no words, no support from the authorities, but she also had to endure false information, implying that his kid was part of a drug trade,” deplores the lawyer. She has since been contacted by the environmentalist mayor of Poitiers, Léonore Moncond'huy.

“It’s not because we live in a working-class neighborhood that we don’t have the right to go out, to live. To hear them, people should stayparkedat home to show off their credentials,” continues Me Djoudi. According to the prosecution, the alleged shooter “would have engaged in the sale of narcotics” in the neighborhood “during the preceding days”. According to information from Parisianthe suspect was under judicial supervision as part of a weapons possession case investigated in .
