The Plaine district in Cachan woke up in a disastrous torpor on Tuesday morning.
The day before, around 4:45 p.m., a young person from the neighborhood lost his life on avenue de la Division-Leclerc in what amounts to a regular execution.
The victim's name was Malick.
He was 29 years old and lived between Cachan and Mont-Mesly in Créteil.
His mother and his brothers live a stone's throw from where he was shot several times in the body, coldly, by two men on scooters.
The homicide took place around 4:45 p.m. on Monday, in front of the Carrefour Market supermarket and the La Fabrique coworking center.
Malick is sitting behind the wheel of his Peugeot 1007 when suddenly two men appear.
Their faces are concealed by motorcycle helmets.
They shoot at their target several times.
The police will find eight cartridge cases in total.

Several bullets hit Malick, who fell unconscious across the cockpit of his car.
Immediately, a crowd rushes around him while others seek help.
His girlfriend, a 28-year-old woman, also came running soon after.
A fast-moving T-Max scooter filmed by witnesses
The witnesses quickly manage to stop a passing ambulance and to summon the manager of the neighboring pharmacy.
Meanwhile, the two suspects run away and then board a powerful T-Max type scooter.
It will even be filmed by a witness driving at very high speed a little further.
This T-Max which spins at full speed would be responsible for the death by bullets (5 impacts) of a 29-year-old person who died from his injuries, in #Cachan.

The two paramedics and the pharmacist, on the phone with the Samu, extract the body of the young man, still unconscious, from the Peugeot.
A deputy mayor, who was leaving Carrefour, helps them lay the victim on the ground.
The three rescuers start a cardiac massage in turn until the arrival of the firefighters and then the resuscitation ambulance.
They will try to save him for nearly an hour before finally resigning themselves and declaring his death around 5:30 p.m.
No custody for the moment
The residents, dazed, all describe a quiet neighborhood but affected by drug trafficking.
"I am sure that this young man was linked to stories of narcotics", confides a resident.
According to our information, he was very unfavorably known to the courts and the police.
