In Dijon (Côte-d’Or), a man died in his apartment on the night of Saturday November 25 to Sunday November 26, the collateral victim of a stray bullet following shots fired at the facade of his building. This is located just above a drug trafficking point well known to the police.

Investigators looking for clues in front of an entrance hall riddled with bullet holes. In this building, in Dijon (Côte d’Or), Sunday November 26 around 12:30 a.m., on the first floor, a 55-year-old father died, fatally shot in his sleep by bullets that passed through the windows. Her daughter was sleeping in the next room. Very quickly, a witness contacted the police. “I would say (there were) five to ten shots, so at that point, I called the police“, he said. Shots fired from a machine gun. The shooter and at least one accomplice are still on the run. Around sixty shell casings were found by the police.

Shocked residents

The Stalingrad district where the tragedy took place is known to be a deal district. The shooting would likely be linked to a settling of scores, according to the public prosecutor. The residents of the neighborhood are very shocked. They couldn’t sleep, many of them. CRS from an elite unit, specialized in the fight against urban violence, should be present on the evening of November 26.
