Neïmy Duranty, 23, is a two-wheeler enthusiast, multiple Martinique champion and the 22nd victim of a gun homicide in Martinique.
His father was present at the events on Sunday evening.
I left at 11pm when it ended. We arranged to meet. I went and left him with his sister. When I arrived at the main entrance of the hotel I was told that my son had a problem at the other entrance. Two or three minutes later I heard bullet impacts. I ran back there. When I arrived I saw that his friends were panicking. When I asked where my son was, they told me he had been shot and taken to the hospital. I picked up my daughter and went to the emergency room. But his mother called me to tell me he had died.

According to our information, the suspected perpetrator, a 22-year-old man who was clearly well integrated into society, went to the gendarmerie on his own initiative.
