According to the latest elements of the case, a huge blunder was allegedly committed by the mysterious shooter from Montreuil, who injured a woman on the night of Friday to Saturday.
The thug, who fired on his front door, would have simply taken the wrong address.
Friday, January 13, it is past 11 p.m. when an explosion is heard.
An unknown person has just shot through the door of a dwelling located rue Carnot.
The woman, who occupies the apartment with her son in this southern district, heard a strange noise on the landing.
She approaches the entrance to look through the peephole.
At the same time, an individual fired.
A projectile passes through the thickness of the door and lodges in the abdomen of this fifty-year-old lady.
Fortunately, the injury is only superficial, according to a source close to the investigation.
The victim was admitted overnight to the André-Grégoire intercommunal hospital center in Montreuil.
His life is not in danger but the psychological repercussions are significant.
Misunderstanding reigns.
This woman is uneventful.
And the first elements of the investigation tend to exculpate the victim.
The hypothesis of a settling of scores or a warning
Investigators from the Montreuil police station, who suspected a mistake, had confirmation when Saturday morning, another woman showed up at the police station.
She exhibited, in front of the flabbergasted officials, a "large caliber" bullet, reports the same source.
And explained that she had discovered this projectile in her living room.
A hole is actually found on his front door.
Again, the projectile was fired from the landing, it passed through the door of this other resident and ended its trajectory in the middle of her living room.
Luckily, there was no one in that apartment that day.
And surprise: the woman specifies that she also lives on rue Carnot, in Montreuil, and that she is a neighbor of the victim of this weekend.
These facts would have taken place “at the very beginning of the year”, specifies the same source, but the tenants had not considered it useful to inform the police and to file a complaint.
They had carefully preserved the ammunition and had not extended on the question.
The hypothesis of a settling of accounts or a warning on the background of drug trafficking has been strongly considered.
The sons of this woman are known to the police for narcotics cases.
The shooter has not been located.
Is it one and the same person?
What were his intentions?
He is still actively sought, this Sunday.
With this new development, the case takes a completely different turn.
She has just been entrusted to the departmental service of the judicial police (SDPJ) 93.
