The last hours have been particularly bloody in the northern districts of Marseille.

According to information from

La Provence

, the corpse of a man, shot dead, was discovered overnight from Saturday to Sunday near the city of Mourepiane, in the 16th arrondissement of the Marseille city.

This Sunday morning, another man was shot dead while driving his car in the 13th arrondissement of Marseille.

In addition, another man was shot and wounded last night, currently hospitalized in North Hospital.

These homicides took place the day after the murder of a young man shot dead in the northern districts of Marseille, near the city of Flamingos and a drug point known to the authorities.

Joined on site by AFP at the time of the facts, Salim Grabsi, member of the Syndicate of working-class districts of Marseille, feared "a return match", that is to say violent reprisals to avenge this homicide.

A 19-year-old girl had lost her life ten days ago in Marseille, undoubtedly the collateral victim of a shooting near another drug point, at the Belle de Mai, again in one of these neighborhoods very poor in the city.
