(FILES) This photograph shows a view of The Bel Horizon tower located in the 3rd arrondissement of Marseille, on December 3, 2025. In the poorest major city in France, drug-related murders no longer necessarily occur at night, away from prying eyes. Of the 17 that have taken place since January, five occurred during the day, on busy streets, in front of helpless witnesses, according to an AFP tally. In the lobby of the Bel Horizon tower in Marseille, the phone number of the Avad association (Aid for victims of criminal acts) is posted after the death in late November of a young man, riddled with bullets at a drug dealing spot at the building's entrance, who came to seek refuge in its upper floors.
