A 23-year-old man was shot dead this Thursday evening at the very end of the evening in Evry-Courcouronnes (Essonne), we learned from a police source.
The drama occurred in the small rue André Lalande, in the center of the city, between the Evry 2 shopping center and the university.
This Thursday, around 1 am, several police trucks, assisted by teams of forensic technicians, were busy in the alley, especially in a building hall.
According to a judicial source, the victim is a young man from Ris-Orangis.
This drama is "probably" in a context of brawls between gangs between Evry-Courcouronnes and Ris-Orangis, indicates the prosecutor of the Republic of Essonne, Caroline Nisand.
According to our information, this homicide could follow a brawl that began around 9 p.m. in Ris-Orangis, where a young man was wounded by a firearm in his arm.
For several weeks, the districts of Plateau, in Ris, and Champtier-du-Coq, in Evry, have been clashing regularly.
After Lilibelle in Saint-Chéron and Toumani in Boussy-Saint-Antoine, this 23-year-old would be the third death resulting from a brawl between gangs in Essonne in 2021. The phenomenon of brawls has been increasing in Essonne for a year.
In 2020, 186 clashes were recorded in Ile-de-France, nearly half took place in the department.
According to the prefect of Essonne, there were 91 in 2020, against 56 in 2019.
