Twenty-four hours after a man was shot dead in a McDonald’s at Porte de Clignancourt, in Paris (18th century), the motive of the 77-year-old suspect is gradually being revealed. Heard in the premises of the second judicial police district of Paris, where he is still in police custody, the individual mentioned an old resentment as the driving force behind the action. According to our information, the two men knew each other well. “They were arguing over a money debt and the relationship between their family,” said a source close to the matter.
The septuagenarian is suspected of having shot and killed this 60-year-old man on Friday shortly before noon inside the fast-food restaurant on Boulevard Ornano. According to Actu17, the perpetrator opened fire six times after an argument with the victim, who was hit in the head and chest. After reaching his target, the shooter did not try to flee, waiting to be able to surrender to the Bac police, who arrested him without difficulty. A revolver and ammunition were discovered on site.
The hearings are still in progress and, for the moment, no information has filtered out on the nature of his statements. After 48 hours spent in police custody, he should be brought to the Paris courthouse for indictment. “He has no known criminal record,” reveals a source.
