Un homme pris pour cible à la kalachnikov cette nuit à Aix - La Provence

-

Il s'en est fallu de peu, cette nuit, pour qu'une nouvelle victime de règlement de compte vienne abonder au sinistre bilan de l'année.

Peu après minuit, un homme de 34 ans qui circulait au volant d'un puissant SUV à Aix-en-Provence, a soudain été pris en chasse par une voiture. Après avoir tenté de s'échapper, le conducteur qui s'est engagé dans le quartier du Jas de Bouffan s'est trouvé nez à nez avec ses poursuivants.

Alors qu'il entamait une ultime manœuvre, plusieurs individus encagoulés ont ouvert le feu à l'arme de poing et à la kalachnikov dans sa direction, touchant le véhicule à cinq reprises, sans parvenir, toutefois, à atteindre leur cible.

La victime, qui n'est pas connue pour des faits de trafic de stupéfiants, est parvenue à se cacher dans des buissons en attendant l'arrivée de la police. Peu après, le véhicule des assaillants a été découvert incendié à proximité.

La police judiciaire a été saisie de l'enquête.
