A 27-year-old Afghan man was shot and killed on Sunday.

The tragedy occurred during an altercation between young people and a group of Afghans who had complained about a noisy scooter.

Investigators have identified two suspects in connection with the death of Abdul Quayyeem Ahmadzai.

All that remains is to get hold of these two young men.

Since Tuesday evening, investigators have formally identified two young men who are directly linked to the death of Abdul Quayyeem Ahmadzai, in Colmar, after an urban rodeo.

According to information from Europe 1, one of them is 17 and the other 18. They are known to the police for petty theft.

But they are not big thugs.

One of the boys provoked the victim

Law enforcement thinks they should eventually surrender.

One of these boys is the driver of the two-wheeler which provoked the victim by making noise while circling around her.

After exchanging insults and blows with the Afghan and his relatives, he goes to seek reinforcements.

Investigators search the contents of phones

He returns a few minutes later with buddies and a gun.

But, still according to our information, a priori, it is not he who shoots.

And this is where the second suspect comes in, the one who allegedly opened fire and fatally injured Abdul Quayyeem.

There are several CCTV cameras around the crime scene.

One at the entrance to the building where the altercation began and another further down the street.

But we don't see the shooting on any of them.
