In a tragic turn of events, a nationally wanted individual involved in drug trafficking lost his life at the Razi Hospital, part of the Mohammed VI University Hospital Center in Marrakech. The deceased succumbed to his injuries sustained from a gunshot wound during his arrest on the evening of Friday, September 4, 2026, in the Berhamoun area, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Sidi Ibrahim Oasis municipality.
The incident unfolded during a meticulously coordinated security operation involving the regional leadership and the local Royal Gendarmerie. The suspect, known for his criminal record, exhibited violent resistance against the security patrol, employing aggressive dogs and attempting to flee during the arrest operation.
In light of the escalating situation, a member of the Royal Gendarmerie from the judicial center in Tamanar was compelled to use his service weapon, striking the suspect in the thigh to subdue him. Despite the prompt medical intervention and swift transport of the injured man to the emergency department of the aforementioned hospital for essential treatment, he ultimately passed away due to complications arising from his injury.
Following these developments, the authorities have decided to place the deceased's body in the morgue for a forensic autopsy. The public prosecution continues to oversee a thorough judicial investigation to clarify all circumstances and conditions surrounding the incident while ensuring compliance with applicable legal procedures.
