The use of lethal force by officers against the teenager, who was of North African origin, has fed into a deep-rooted perception of police brutality.
A video shared on social media, verified by Reuters, shows two police officers beside the car, a Mercedes AMG, with one shooting at the driver at close range as the car pulled away. He died shortly afterwards from his wounds, the local prosecutor said.
The family has filed a legal complaint against the officers for homicide, complicity in homicide and false testimony, the lawyer said. France's human rights ombudsman has opened an inquiry into the death, the sixth such inquiry into similar incidents in 2022 and 2023.
