Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 19 March 2022: ten shots fired, one dead
According to rugbyrama.fr, the night of 19 March 2022 cost Federico Martin Aramburu his life in the streets of Paris, following a sequence of violence that began in a bar on boulevard Saint-Germain.
An evening that turns violent at the Mabillon
Federico Martin Aramburu and his friend Shaun Hegarty spend the evening in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district. Loïk Le Priol, Romain Bouvier and a woman identified as Lyson R. are also at the Mabillon. A customer is first confronted by Le Priol and Bouvier. Hegarty intervenes to try to calm the situation. Tensions rise, and a physical altercation eventually erupts between Aramburu and Le Priol. Security staff separate the parties involved.
The chase
The two former rugby players leave on foot along the boulevard. Aramburu, injured to the face during the brawl, stops with Hegarty at the Welcome hotel to ask for ice. Meanwhile, Le Priol and Bouvier, temporarily detained at the edge of the Mabillon, are released. According to information gathered during the investigation, they then actively search for the two men.
Le Priol pursues Aramburu and Hegarty on foot. Bouvier, meanwhile, gets into a Jeep driven by Lyson R.
The shots: ten shots fired, six impacts
The Jeep catches up with the two former players. Bouvier gets out and opens fire: four shots are fired at Aramburu. Bouvier then leaves the scene. Le Priol, who has followed the incident on foot, then joins the two men. A fresh physical altercation breaks out before he draws his weapon and fires six times.
Forensic and ballistics experts would establish that of the ten projectiles fired, six struck Federico Martin Aramburu, including several in the back. Despite the rapid intervention of emergency services, the former centre three-quarter for Biarritz and Perpignan, Argentine international with 22 caps and bronze medallist at the 2007 Rugby World Cup, died at the scene. He was 42 years old. Shaun Hegarty, at his side, was not hit.
The flight and arrests
After the shots, the flight phase begins. Romain Bouvier is arrested in the Sarthe. Loïk Le Priol manages to leave French territory. He is eventually arrested four days after the incident in Hungary, as he was heading towards Ukraine — the destination where he claimed he wanted to go and fight.
