Mystery solved. French singer shot himself, faked suicide

At 5:24 a.m. Monday, April 22, an unidentified woman called 911 for a “male with a gunshot wound,” the prosecutor said. A few minutes later, rescuers and firefighters arrived at the scene – at the camp, which is located in Biscarrosse. There they discovered Kendji Girac sitting in his underwear outside the caravan. Someone had obviously taken him there, the prosecutor said. Gendarmes immediately arrived at the scene, writes the newspaper Le Parisien.

The singer was shot between two ribs at a distance “considered to be close” and “by a shot from close range”, the prosecutor specified. His lungs and spleen were injured.

When initially questioned, Kendji Girac claimed it was an “accidental shooting”, later claiming he had mishandled the gun.

But the investigators found that all the singer’s claims were false. Kendji Girac had received training with the weapon, and was shot at such an angle that analysis ruled it out as an accident. The performer himself then admitted that he had shot himself. A significant amount of alcohol and traces of cocaine were found in his blood that evening, the prosecutor said.

The singer wanted to “feign suicide” to “frighten his wife” who threatened to leave him, the prosecutor said.

Criminalists were also busy searching for the weapon, which was finally found in the bushes thanks to an anonymous witness. But the cartridge magazine was elsewhere, and there were so many prints on both sides of the Colt 45 that it was impossible to tell who had handled it.

The 27-year-old performer performing as Kendji won the singing competition The Voice in France in 2014. His success made the Roma community very visible, but his way of life also brought him problems. According to BFM TV, none of the families approve of the singer’s relationship with Soraya Miranda, who is not Roma. According to the media, it was these differences that were behind the latest argument that resulted in the shooting.
