According to identical local sources, the suspect who was shot during an intervention by Royal Gendarmerie elements in the Rahmoun area, belonging to the Oulad Sidi Ibrahim commune, on the outskirts of Marrakech, passed away today, Tuesday, days after falling into a coma as a result of his injury.
The details of the incident go back to the intervention of the elements of the Judicial Center of the Royal Gendarmerie in Tamesna to arrest the individual in question, who was the subject of a national search warrant for suspected involvement in drug trafficking cases.
According to available data, the suspect attempted to flee during the arrest operation in the Rahmoun village, before showing resistance towards the Gendarmerie elements, using dogs, which prompted one of the elements to use his service weapon and fire a shot that hit him in the thigh.
The injured person was transferred to Al-Razi Hospital in Marrakech for treatment, but his health condition remained critical, before he passed away today after days in a coma.
Legal procedures related to the incident are ongoing, pending the findings of the investigations into the circumstances of the arrest operation, the attempted escape and resistance, as well as the details of the use of the service weapon.
