A young man in his twenties was shot dead Sunday evening, near a point of deal and a primary school in the southern districts of Marseille.
The Cité de la Cayolle was the scene of a new assault. It was around 11:30 p.m. this Sunday, February 2, 2025, when a young man in his twenties was found dead after being the target of Kalashnikov fire. According to information from Provencehis body lay near a point of deal and a primary school in the 9th arrondissement of Marseille.
These two places that everything opposes are however regularly adjoining. Already in November, the neighborhood between a canteen and a traffic point had forced the Elsa Triolet nursery school, located in Échirolles, in the south of Grenoble, to suspend its school catering service for security reasons, reports Le Figaro.
The drama shakes the 9th arrondissement of Marseille, starting with the inhabitants of the Cayolle district. The young man who lost his life, touched by bullets at the thorax, was in cardio-respiratory arrest on the arrival of help. The police, already mobilized in number in the southern districts on this match day at the Vélodrome stadium, carried out a heart massage before they intervene. On the spot, an SMUR team tried in vain to revive him before resolving himself to pronounce the death.
An investigation was entrusted by the prosecution to the organized and specialized crime division of Marseille to find the authors (s) of the shots. For the time being, the identity of the victim has not yet been identified and no element on the culprit (s) has been able to clarify the investigations, specifies Provence.
Only information: the Cité de la Cayolle, located at the gates of the Calanques National Park, in the 9th arrondissement of Marseille, is regularly the theater of assassinations against the backdrop of drug trafficking, according to France 3 Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. Already in September, a shooting had left one dead and an injured person near the deal point.
