Investigators could not immediately confirm the motive, but it was clearly a case with a clear target, as the victim was shot 15 times.

Prosecutor Xavier Tahab said the attackers fled before the police arrived and may have kidnapped a customer who was sitting with the victim as a hostage. The 22-year-old cafe owner was taken away by police and returned home after being briefly questioned.

The case brings the number of people shot and killed in the Rhone estuary province of Marseille to 33 this year. Agence France-Presse reported that most of the cases involved triads and occurred in this port city with a high crime rate. (Chen Dan) [Xinhua News Agency micro-feature]
