Man in His 20s Killed in Grenoble’s Villeneuve Shooting as Suspect Remains at Large

Organized crime investigators took over the case in a neighborhood known for drug trafficking.

Overview

  • The gunfire that erupted just before 1 a.m. Wednesday in Villeneuve, Grenoble, left a man in his late 20s dead in the street.
  • Responders found the victim with gunshot wounds to the neck and thigh, according to police sources.
  • Officers recovered several 9 mm shell casings after a neighbor reported hearing multiple shots.
  • A 36-year-old man was slightly injured and did not need hospital transport, firefighters said.
