In her testimony given to franceinfo, the passenger friend of the victim says that the occupants of the vehicle had asked her not to flee police control, but that the driver seemed “panicked” because he did not have the license. The lawyer for the victim’s family also announced the filing of a complaint against X for “voluntary violence resulting in death without the intention of giving it”, which targets the police: “We do not understand why we fired ten shots in front of the passenger, why she ended up with a bullet in the head,” she said. “According to the version of the witnesses, there was no longer any danger for the lives of the police at the time of the shootings, specified Sylvie Noachovitch. They cannot invoke self-defense.” According to the police lawyer, Laurent-Franck Liénard, the testimony of the passenger “does not comply with the objective elements of the file”.
