“Someone without problems”
The shooting shocked Saint-Péray, a small, quiet town in Ardèche. The young man's family does not understand. “He was full of life, very loved by his friends, someone without problems. An adorable and loving son,” confides his mother Gladys to Dauphiné Libéré. She had time to watch over her son in the hospital before he died.
The violent death of Nicolas Dumas upsets his rugby club, the Rugby Club Romanais-Péage. “Nicolas, Kolbe, Nico, the princess or so many other nicknames, has just left us in atrocious circumstances,” writes the RCRP on its Facebook page. “The club has been hit in the heart again since Thursday evening. We are once again devastated.”
Thomas, stabbed 1 year ago
An allusion to the death of Thomas Perotto, the young man killed at the Crépol ball in Drôme in November 2023, during an altercation between guests and around ten young people from outside the village. He was also a rugby player in this Drôme club. This tragedy aroused strong emotion across France and triggered a national debate on the subject of insecurity and violence among young people. 14 people are indicted in this case, but the author of the fatal stabbing has still not been identified.
