New act of violence in the pearl of Gard.
A 17-year-old teenager was fatally injured Monday evening in Nîmes, the victim of a shooting in the popular district of Mas de Mingue.
The young man died after his transfer to the emergency department of the CHU de Nîmes, confirmed the vice-prosecutor of the Republic of Nîmes, Patrick Bottero.
The shooting, shortly after 7 p.m., also left two injured: another teenager, found on the scene as soon as help arrived, and another young person discovered later, more slightly affected, still in the same neighborhood.

A vehicle, which may have been used for this operation, was found set on fire nearby later in the evening.
The investigation, entrusted to the judicial police, was opened for "murder and attempted murder in an organized group, criminal conspiracy and destruction by fire".
Nîmes had experienced a similar tragedy barely a week ago, on January 18, with the death of a young man in an assault rifle shooting in the Pissevin district, another sector of the city plagued by traffic in narcotics.
