A white march in tribute to the young man shot and killed by a police officer in the Channel will be organized on Wednesday June 12 at 2 p.m., reports France Bleu Cotentin. Several appeals were launched on social networks. Among them, that of the socio-cultural association “La Maison Pour Tous Léo Lagrange” which specifies that “the family calls for a gathering in calm and dignity”.
The procession will leave from the Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul church in Octeville to reach rue Waldeck-Rousseau in Cherbourg, where the 19-year-old young man died.
