The teenager, aged 16, had been the victim of a shooting, which occurred on the night of April 3 to 4 in Marseille, towards rue Vincent-Leblanc, near the popular district of Joliette. Seriously injured, he was then with two other teenagers, including one who had already died in this bloody night, during which two other shootings took place in Marseille, eaten away by drug trafficking against a backdrop of territorial struggles.
According Provence, this teenager died in the weekend. He is the 18th victim of score settling in Marseille. The year 2022 had already been particularly deadly in the Bouches-du-Rhône, with 32 victims of organized gang homicides, including 28 in Marseille, according to figures from the prosecution. A figure that had exceeded the record of 2016 when the prosecution had counted 31 victims of this type of act.
