A police officer who fatally shot a 17-year-old in a Paris suburb has been placed under formal investigation for “voluntary homicide” after the deadly shooting sparked widespread outrage and two nights of riots.
Thousands of people took part in a memorial march on Thursday to demand justice for Nahel, who was shot dead on Tuesday by police during a traffic stop in Nanterre. The protest ended with police firing tear gas and several cars being set alight.
