On July 28, the Saint-Nazaire police station and the narcotics brigade of the Nantes judicial police branch carried out a vast operation in a district close to the scene of the shooting, La Bouletterie, with the support of the Raid. According to a source familiar with the matter, the operation aimed to identify the members of a drug trafficking network established in this city, known to be " a real drug supermarket ".

Eight men suspected of being involved in drug trafficking had been arrested, according to Saint-Nazaire public prosecutor Sylvie Canovas-Lagarde. More than 90,000 euros, 525 g of heroin, 38 g of cocaine and 94 g of cannabis were also seized.

The next day, July 31, new shots had targeted a car this time while it was stopped at a red light in Saint-Nazaire, in the Petit Caporal district, a little further north of the site of the first shooting. .

According to the Saint-Nazaire public prosecutor's office, a 12-year-old girl who was in the car with two other children and a man behind the wheel was shot in the calf after a bullet went through the body. " The perpetrator or perpetrators were targeting a relative of the man injured the day before " and now deceased, said the prosecution.

The investigation was entrusted to the criminal brigade of the Nantes judicial police branch.
