A 30-year-old man died after being shot in the head on Tuesday while driving a car in Noisy-le-Sec, in Seine-Saint-Denis.
It would probably be a settling of scores, AFP learned from police and judicial sources.
Shortly before 1 p.m., in a small street near the André Grégoire hospital, two men shot at the motorist, before fleeing on foot.
Taken to hospital, the victim died overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday from his head injuries.
Two handguns were found near the scene, a police source said.
The investigation was entrusted to the judicial police of Seine-Saint-Denis, according to the Bobigny prosecutor's office.
