The judicial police have been working since that night to elucidate the murder of a young man shot dead around 1:40 am in Blagnac. Five people are in police custody.
Impacts on a section of wall, traces of blood on the ground and the rubalises of the police … This Sunday morning in Blagnac the corner of the Place de Catalogne and the avenue du Général-de-Gaulle bears the stigmata of a murderous night. At around 1:40 am, a 26-year-old young man was killed, shot by a man perched on a scooter.
“I heard two detonations and I went out, relates a witness. He was on the ground. There was a lot of blood.” The firefighters and the SAMU went to the scene where they gave the victim a cardiac massage. In vain. Hit in the thorax, the man died on the rails of the tram.
A muddle would have broken out
The police have established a security perimeter to collect the slightest traces and clues. The witnesses were quickly heard. “There were several people who are not from the neighborhood, relates a local resident. There were women who cried and cried.”
A video surveillance camera overlooks the small shopping square. It should allow investigators to understand the chain of events. A confusion would have broken out, probably in an apartment before continuing in the street. Then the scooter, a T-Max, would have arrived as well as a car. The pilot of the two-wheeler said a few words before firing on the victim.
Five arrests in the Izards district
Less than an hour later, a car that could match the one seen at the scene was spotted by the police as it was driving at high speed in the Izards sector in Toulouse. Its five occupants, men aged 16 to 19, were arrested and taken into police custody. Are they linked to the shooting? The investigation entrusted by the Toulouse prosecutor’s office to the territorial direction of the judicial police (ex-SRPJ) should verify this.
What is the motive for this murder? Is this yet another settling of scores against a background of drug trafficking? The hypothesis does not seem privileged this Sunday morning. How did the muddle go? For which motive ? Is it a matter of the heart? Again, the PJ specialists must clear up the gray areas.
