The investigation opened for murder in an organized gang was entrusted to the SDPJ 93 (departmental service of the judicial police).
It has so far not made it possible to establish the definitive scenario of the shooting death of a 37-year-old man last Friday, around 7 p.m., in Gournay-sur-Marne (Seine-Saint-Denis), peaceful little town of 6,800 inhabitants unaccustomed to settling bloody scores.
The hypothesis of an execution in good and due form has not been proven at this stage of the investigation.
Many gray areas still remain.
In view of the modus operandi, it could also be "bullying gone wrong", says a source close to the investigation.
There is also no certainty about the place where the fatal shooting occurred, except that the victim - a man residing in Chelles (Seine-et-Marne), a town bordering the Seine- Saint-Denis — was driving when she was hit by a bullet.
The projectile entered an arm at armpit level, then struck his heart.
“It is not certain that the shooter fired when he was in Gournay.
It could be that the shooting occurred on Chelles, ”continues this same source.
In Gournay, witnesses noted that he was chased by two men on scooters at the Avenue de Champs.
"But he had already been hit," said the same source.
The companion speaks of two detonations
What is certain is that the motorist would have tried to flee and escape the two-wheeler, accelerating and running through the red lights, but traffic was heavy at the end of the day.
Probably losing consciousness, he ended up losing control of his Peugeot 3008 and crashed into three vehicles, without causing any injuries.
Then his car stopped.
There is also uncertainty about the number of shots fired.
The victim's body contained only a large caliber bullet impact.
However, the police have a key witness: the victim's partner.
She witnessed his death live.
“He was on the phone with his girlfriend when he was killed.
She says she heard two detonations,” said the same source.
However, no other trace of a projectile was found in the passenger compartment.
The thesis of a settling of accounts is favored for the moment.
The motive remains mysterious.
The victim was not well known to the courts.
The 30-year-old worked in the field of artistic production, with rap artists.
This Wednesday, the murderer and his possible accomplice were still actively sought.
