PostedAugust 15, 2022, 12:44 PM

A probable settling of scores between rival gangs cost the life of a young individual on Sunday evening.

A young man was shot dead Sunday evening in Perpignan (south), and another was injured. The perpetrators of the shooting fled on a scooter, we learned on Monday from a source close to the investigation. The investigations are just beginning but for the Perpignan prosecution, it is probably a settling of accounts between rival gangs.

The shooting occurred around 10:30 p.m. in the city of Bas Vernet, a district where authorities noticed that rival gangs were fighting over drug trafficking points. Last week, violence has already been recorded in this area. Sunday at midday, the person shot had not been identified. Aged 20, the injured, who received a bullet, was hospitalized.
