The two shooting victims are males, ages 34 and 39 based on initial identification.

According to police information from Le Parisien, the deceased 34-year-old man was known to the police for drug trafficking.
The three men could have been victims of a settling of scores according to police sources quoted by AFP: “It is probably a settling of scores around narcotics”.
