Nicolas Dumas was killed in a nightclub shooting, prompting a large memorial march in Romans-sur-Isère.
- Two suspects have been charged with the murder of Nicolas Dumas, a 20-year-old rugby player, who was shot outside a nightclub in Saint-Péray on November 1.
- The first suspect, aged 19, was identified through surveillance footage and is believed to be the gunman; he was arrested in Marseille.
- The second suspect, a 23-year-old with a criminal history, was the driver of the getaway vehicle and was apprehended in Cavaillon.
- Over 2,500 people participated in a silent march in Romans-sur-Isère to honor Dumas, reflecting the community's grief and solidarity.
