A gathering is set for this Saturday at 1:00 PM in Pontoise, in the Val-d'Oise department, to demand justice for Dylan, a 25-year-old man suspected of robbing a jewelry store, exactly one year after his death. Dylan's family is seeking clarity about the circumstances of his death, which was initially described by the prosecutor's office as a "fainting spell." However, Dylan’s sister, Lorraine, remains unconvinced by this explanation and is pushing for a full investigation.
Dylan’s family has taken legal action, with their lawyers filing two complaints as a civil party, including charges of involuntary homicide by a person entrusted with public authority. According to Lorraine, Dylan reportedly threw his weapon on the sidewalk after the robbery, indicating he did not intend to cause harm. She also claims that surveillance footage from a nearby church captured the events, and there were at least fifteen witnesses present. The family’s legal team emphasizes that Dylan’s family has the right to know the full truth about how he died.
Lorraine is particularly concerned about the duration of the civilian police officer’s involvement in Dylan’s death and hopes that the justice system will handle the case differently from the Adama Traoré case, which occurred ten years ago. In that case, the family of the deceased faced prolonged uncertainty and a lack of accountability. Last week, the Pontoise prosecutor’s office indicated that the investigation into Dylan’s death is focusing on asphyxiation as a possible cause, with a medical analysis underway to determine the exact reasons behind the asphyxiation syndrome.
The prosecutor has not confirmed whether the civilian police officer involved has been questioned by the IGPN (National Police Oversight Authority) one year after the incident. Dylan’s family continues to demand transparency and a thorough examination of the events leading to his death, hoping for justice and closure.
