A 39-year-old man was shot dead in front of his son in Nîmes (Gard), known for drug trafficking. Three suspects were arrested Tuesday evening in Marseille, aboard a vehicle geolocated at the crime scene.
The victim's son, who was in the car at the time of the incident, was not hit or injured. Violence due to drug trafficking has been growing sharply in recent years in Nîmes, where three people were shot dead near drug trafficking points in 2023.
