The drama began in the middle of the night from Wednesday to Thursday, in Grenoble.
On the basis of first testimonies, the prosecutor Eric Vaillant began to outline the scenario of this crime.
At around 4:20 a.m. Thursday, the victim was stopped in a street by two people who stopped his car.
Before shooting the driver, spray the vehicle with gasoline before setting it on fire, said the magistrate.

According to witnesses cited by the prosecutor, the victim would be a man born in 1990 and "unfavorably known to the police and the courts, in particular for drug trafficking".
