Toulouse: new fatal shooting, investigation for murder by organised gang opened

A 23-year-old man was shot multiple times outside a nursery school in Toulouse, according to Google News LU FR. The victim, recently released from prison over the summer, was hit repeatedly, notably in the head, according to information relayed by Le Figaro and Sud Ouest.

The incident occurred last night in the pink city. Emergency services attended the scene but could only confirm the death of the young man.

The authorities opened an investigation for murder by organised gang, according to Sud Ouest. This charge suggests that investigators are considering a settling of scores in a structured criminal context.

This is a further fatal shooting in Toulouse, a city regularly affected by violence linked to trafficking. The crime scene, outside an establishment caring for young children, provoked a strong reaction in regional media, including ladepeche.fr and Actu.fr.

No arrests were reported immediately. The investigation was handed to the competent services in order to identify those responsible for the shooting.
