According to initial findings of the investigation, this death occurred in the context of a confrontation between rival gangs. Contacted on Monday by AFP, the mayor of Yerres had already expressed being «devastated» by this tragedy that occurred as the two Essonne municipalities faced a «rise in insults» between rival gangs. According to him, several fights involving young people from both municipalities had taken place in recent days.
The latest of them «started on a bus» before ending fatally in front of the high school. The mayor wanted to issue «a warning» after this «unusual» tragedy in this «very safe» commune in Essonne, urging the youth «to not seek revenge«.
