The 15-year-old teenager, seriously injured by a gunshot to the head during a shooting Thursday evening in Poitiers, died this Saturday at midday, Poitiers prosecutor Cyril Lacombe announced to the press.
The young boy was hospitalized in a state of absolute emergency, his vital prognosis being in jeopardy. Four other minors aged 15 and 16 were injured by shots fired in front of a kebab shop in the Couronneries district. Scuffles broke out Thursday evening after the incident, involving several dozen people according to the police and the prosecution.
Suspected murderer untraceable
A man who “would have engaged in the sale of narcotics”, in the area where the events occurred, “during the previous days”, is actively sought by investigators, prosecutor Cyril Lacombe said on Friday. During a search of a home he allegedly occupied, seven rounds of ammunition of the same caliber as the 11 found at the scene of the shooting, as well as “partial elements of a dismantled weapon”, were seized according to the prosecution.
