Singer Kendji Girac was injured by a gunshot on April 25th, with the prosecutor stating that Kendji had been heavily intoxicated and had consumed cocaine leading up to the incident. The motive behind the gunshot was Kendji’s attempt to simulate suicide to scare his partner who was threatening to leave him after an argument. The prosecutor also mentioned previous statements made by Kendji’s partner about Kendji threatening self-harm during disputes. Various theories, such as the involvement of a third party or an accidental shooting, were ruled out by the prosecutor during a press conference, with the conclusion that the gunshot was a result of Kendji’s actions.
Kendji Girac admitted to the investigators that he regretted his actions and took responsibility for his behavior, stating that he was in a state of panic and under the influence of alcohol and drugs at the time of the incident. The prosecutor indicated that the investigation into the case is likely to be closed as a “attempted homicide” case, unless new evidence comes to light. In response to the prosecutor’s statements, Kendji Girac’s management expressed regret over the public disclosure of Kendji’s private life and requested media outlets to respect Kendji’s recovery process. Singer Vianney also commented humorously on the situation, referring to the prosecutor as a “multitasking prosecutor.”
The prosecutor emphasized that all safety precautions were operational and that it was highly unlikely for a gun to discharge accidentally, especially in the case of a handgun. Kendji Girac’s actions were attributed to a moment of panic and a struggle with alcohol addiction by the prosecutor. While Kendji expressed regret over his actions, the prosecutor mentioned that it would take him some time to recover from the emotional impact of the incident. Investigations regarding the origin of the gun used in the incident will continue, despite the likely closure of the attempted homicide case.
Kendji Girac’s intoxication and drug use were confirmed by tests conducted after the incident, shedding light on the underlying tensions in his relationship with his partner. The prosecutor highlighted the need for Kendji and his partner to find the resources to overcome the emotional trauma caused by the gunshot incident. The management of Kendji Girac expressed concern over the invasion of Kendji’s privacy by the prosecutor and requested a respectful approach from the media during Kendji’s recovery period. Singer Vianney, on the other hand, made a sarcastic comment about the prosecutor’s statements, hoping for positive coverage from the tabloid press. The conclusion of the investigation into the gunshot incident is pending further developments, while efforts to support Kendji Girac’s recovery are underway.
