Suspect Apprehended in Police Raid
Following an extensive search, a 30-year-old suspect was apprehended on Monday by the Brigade de Recherche et d’Intervention (BRI). The arrest occurred in the Vaucluse department, where the suspect had sought refuge with relatives.
He was transferred to the custody of the Criminal Brigade and remains in detention on Tuesday, as confirmed by the Marseille Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Brutal Killing with Long Gun

Eight bullet holes were discovered on the nightclub’s door, indicating the brutality of the attack.
Motive: Denied Entry to Club
