A man was shot dead in a housing estate in the working-class neighborhoods of northern Marseille on Monday, June 5 evening, around 21:30 p.m., a source said. The city of Castellas, in the 15th arrondissement of the second city of France, had already been mourned on the night of April 3, when two men aged 21 and 23 lost their lives.
If this new homicide is indeed linked to drug trafficking, it would be the 23rd of the year in the Phocaean city in just over five months, according to AFP figures.
