“Hamza forever in our hearts”, “Justice for Hamza” “We love you”.
These words brandished on signs said the essential during the silent march organized this Friday in Nangis in memory of Hamza.
400 people participated to pay a vibrant tribute to the young man, killed Tuesday evening by a 9 mm bullet in the head while he was in the stairwell of the residence located at 3 promenade Pierre and Marie Curie, in the sensitive district of Mare-aux-Curées.
He was 23 years old.
An investigation was opened for assassination and entrusted to the gendarmes of the Paris research section.
The procession left from Promenade Ernest Chauvet where the family of the deceased resides, in the “La Mare” district.
His parents have lived there since 2000 and Hamza grew up there, like his three brothers and two sisters.
From 5 p.m., young people, mothers and families flock to the place called “red square”.
All present to support the family they know well or out of solidarity because they are parents too…
“May he rest in peace,” whispers a woman, her eyes red.
“We are colleagues of his mother.
We knew Hamza when he worked as a temporary worker at Kuehn & Nagel in Châtres,” sighs one of the mothers.
“When I found out he had died like that, it killed me,” adds another whose child is also 23 years old.
Worry reigns.
“I think of him and his parents… What makes me angry is that he was eliminated.
In a village of 8,500 inhabitants, that poses a problem…” comments a family friend.
The mayor met the family on Thursday
This execution raises questions.
For his relatives, it is incomprehensible because the boy was not known to the courts for drug trafficking, but simply for drug use, like many young people unfortunately, whether they live in towns or villages.
The family kept repeating that he was doing temporary work, had worked “in fiber” at Free as a technician, etc.
Leaving the Mare-aux-Curées district, the procession stopped at the place where Hassan Kherbach was killed on July 13, 2017... Then it continued its journey for 2.5 km in silence and dignity .
Mayor Nolwenn Le Bouter (LR) did not participate.
“It’s not sure that my schedule will allow me,” she warned.
On Thursday, she went to meet the family.
“I did it as a mother, with complete simplicity.”
Then on Friday she worked with the family on the march route, secured by the police.
The unspeakable pain of Hamza's family is reminiscent of that of the parents and loved ones of Sidney, found shot dead in his car on April 24, 2023 with a bullet to the heart in Nangis, rue de Bel-Air, in a suburban area this time.
He was only 22 years old.
According to the Melun prosecutor, the investigation led by the Paris SR is still ongoing.
