Door-to-Door Salesman Fatally Shot by Retiree in Vosges

A 34-year-old commercial representative was killed in Chavelot, allegedly by a septuagenarian who is now in custody.

  • The incident occurred on Wednesday, November 20, in the small town of Chavelot, near Épinal, in the Vosges region of France.
  • The victim, a 34-year-old door-to-door salesman, was shot with a hunting rifle while visiting the home of two retired brothers in their seventies.
  • The younger of the two brothers, described by neighbors as impulsive and irascible, has been arrested and placed in custody on suspicion of murder.
  • The salesman had reportedly visited the residence multiple times in recent days, which may have contributed to the suspect's agitation.
