After a “dispute” at Le Mabillon bar, two groups were separated by bouncers, according to a police source, but the suspects “came back shortly afterwards with a vehicle and fired shots”. “Multiple effects” bullets were found, added a source close to the investigation and the former player died on the spot as a result of his injuries.
