French prosecutors on Tuesday said they wanted a police officer to stand trial for the 2023 fatal shooting of teenager Nahel Merzouk at a traffic stop in the working-class suburbs north of Paris, that sparked a week of violent protests nationwide.
The police officer, identified only as Florian M., shot 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk at close range during a traffic stop in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on 27 June, 2023.
