Seriously injured by a bullet in the head during the shooting which took place during the night from Thursday to Friday in the parking lot of a nightclub in Valencia, Nicolas died on Saturday afternoon. The young man was from Romans-sur-Isère and belonged to the same Rugby club, the Rugby Club Romans-Péage, as Thomas, killed a year ago during a ball in Crépol.

“Sitting on a chair”
According to information from BFM TV Provence, two people were arrested. A man was arrested while “sitting on a chair” at a deal point in the 15th arrondissement of Marseille. Another person was arrested this Monday evening in Cavaillon (Vaucluse).
At the time of the incident, Nicolas was in the parking lot to enter the nightclub which was expecting nearly 800 young people to celebrate Halloween. A man dressed in black and hooded then left his car in the parking lot and headed towards the entrance, according to initial testimonies. He shot a doorman, who was slightly injured, then towards the queue where many young people were present, including Nicolas. Some even believed that it was a set-up for Halloween evening before realizing the seriousness of the facts, specifies BFM. Nicolas was then hit in the head, as well as a young girl in the leg, but his life is not in danger nor those of the doorman. Panic gripped the crowd. The young people remained confined until 4 a.m. inside waiting for their parents to come pick them up.
