The bullet that injured Kendji Girac on Monday morning was fired in the caravan where the singer was. “According to the first findings”, the bullet which hit the interpreter of Color Gitano And Andalusian was “shot from inside the caravan”, where he was with his partner and their little daughter.
Kendji Girac could also be heard on Wednesday afternoon by investigators if his state of health allows it. According to sources close to the case, the gendarmes are waiting for a medical green light to be able to hear in a free hearing the 27-year-old singer, who briefly spoke on Monday outside of the procedure of an “accidental shooting”.
An investigation for “attempted voluntary homicide”
While waiting for this hearing, witnesses, including the partner of the winner of the 2014 edition of The Voice, were heard. A weapon found “on the indication of members of his family” is “subject to analysis”, according to the prosecution, which opened an investigation on Monday for “attempted intentional homicide” after initial testimonies deemed “confused”.
Kendji Girac, who presented a “bullet wound in the chest” and “protruding at the back”, was operated on at the Haut-Lévêque hospital center in Pessac, southwest of Bordeaux, where he was transported on Monday to early morning “in serious condition, although conscious”.
“The operation went well,” said the singer’s manager Hakim Nassouh on Tuesday, according to whom Kendji Girac is “out of the woods” and “doing well”. Around a hundred members of the Traveler community, including some close to the singer, arrived at the hospital on Wednesday morning.
