This 22-year-old young man died after receiving two shotgun blasts in the abdomen while he was at the foot of a building in the sensitive district of Dervallières on October 11, 2019.
The day after the shooting, the suspect fled.
He was arrested a few months later in Tirana in Albania, his native country.
