A 16-year-old young man was hit by a gunshot this Thursday in Avignon (Vaucluse).

The facts took place around 11 p.m. near a new deal point.

An investigation has been opened.

The victim may not have any connection with drug trafficking, reports La Provence.

The teenager was indeed unknown to the police and would not be from Avignon.

According to investigators, he may also not have been a collateral victim of the shootings.

Hit by at least one projectile in the chest, the young man was seriously injured, but his life is no longer in danger.

Drug trafficking and score settling

The hypothesis of an attempt to settle scores on the background of drug trafficking has been mentioned.

It could involve groups from outside the neighborhood or traffickers already established.

Several similar events took place in the department in the summer of 2021.
