Évry-Courcouronnes Bus Station Killing: 18-Year-Old Beaten to Death, Suspects at Large

The case fits a recent pattern of lethal youth attacks in Essonne.

Overview

  • The assault occurred Monday around 5:30 p.m. at the Évry-Courcouronnes bus station, and the victim was pronounced dead about an hour later despite emergency resuscitation.
  • A short video reviewed by Le Parisien shows two men dressed in black punching and kicking the victim while bystanders try to intervene, and the assailants fled immediately.
  • The victim, identified as an 18-year-old from Ris-Orangis who studied at the CFA in Brétigny-sur-Orge, was referred to as Mamadou in local reporting, and an online fundraiser was opened for his family.
  • Prosecutor Grégoire Dulin said an inquiry is underway for homicide volontaire, association de malfaiteurs, and violences en réunion with ITT over eight days, handled by the Essonne territorial crime unit.
  • Investigators are analyzing station CCTV to identify the suspects, no arrests had been reported by Tuesday morning, and the mayor of Évry-Courcouronnes condemned the attack while suggesting early indications point to rivalry between nearby towns.
