The death of 17-year-old Nahel after being shot by a policeman at a traffic stop on the outskirts of Paris sparked nights of violent riots across France. At the request of the young man's mother, a march was held in Nanterre, Paris, in honor of Nahel, with tens of thousands of people demonstrating and asking for justice. At the end of the march, the police began firing tear gas at the demonstrators, culminating in another day of violent clashes that lasted into the night.
