The facts took place around 8:30 p.m. in the city of Olives, in the 13th arrondissement of the second city of France, said the police headquarters to AFP, confirming the initial information of the daily Provence.
The judicial police have been in charge of the investigation, added the same source, refusing to give more details for the moment.
On January 4 around noon, a 21-year-old man was shot and killed by at least two individuals, while he was at a florist’s in the 15th arrondissement of Marseille. The victim “did not have a criminal record”, but the Marseille prosecutor’s office had noted that it was a “procedure akin to a settling of accounts” linked to drug trafficking.
In 2021, fifteen people died in settling of accounts linked to drug trafficking in the Bouches-du-Rhône, according to the latest figures from the police headquarters.
