“A year after Thomas we again lost a player violently, it’s terrible. We ask ourselves why them, why our club, twice. It's unfair. » At the Donnadieu stadium in Romans-sur-Isère (Drôme), the co-president of RC Romans-Péage, Tristan Tardy, ruminates on his thoughts, staring into space, turned towards the candles placed at the edge of the lawn in memory of Nicolas Dumas. The 22-year-old player, dismissed from his 6 years at the club, died on Saturday afternoon in Valencia hospital following a gunshot wound to the head. He was shot by an individual while waiting to enter the Seven nightclub in Saint-Péray (Ardèche), on November 1 at 2:39 a.m.
It all started from a dispute with the bouncer. During this Halloween night, the disco quickly reached its maximum capacity of 800 people, forcing young people to be turned away throughout the evening. One of them returned to the parking lot wearing a hood and a handgun. According to police sources, he then shot the 22-year-old bouncer at point-blank range, injuring him and a customer in the leg.
