The deceased victim has been identified: he is a Frenchman in his thirties, born in the Comoros and having lived in Marseille.
He was already widely known to the police for his involvement in cases of gang murder, drug trafficking and criminal conspiracy.
A cold execution
According to testimonies and findings, it was he who was targeted by the killer, a lone man, who arrived aboard a scooter.
The rare witnesses who attended the scene describe the coldness with which he would have executed the victim on the sidewalk, in front of the Henry-Dunant hospital, also shooting an employee in charge of building security.
For this crime committed in broad daylight in a chic district of the capital, the track of settling scores, of revenge, is widely favored by the investigators of the criminal brigade.
No link has been established, for the moment, with the hospital which houses a Covid-19 vaccination center.
