The officials had to use their service weapon several times. Seriously injured, particularly in the head and thorax, the man died before help arrived. If we still ignore the motivations of the individual, no radical remarks would be evoked for the time being, specifies a source close to the file.

The Seine-Saint-Denis judicial police (SDPJ 93) as well as the IGPN - the police force - were seized of the investigation.
