The police officer responsible for the shooting was accused and held in jail pending trial, according to prosecutors. The investigating magistrate accused the officer of voluntary murder and placed him on temporary arrest following the event.

On Friday, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called on the French government to "seriously address the deep problems of racism and discrimination in law enforcement" after Nahel was murdered.

About 45,000 officers were deployed across the nation last night to contain the protests. 40,000 law enforcers were deployed the previous night, as per Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin.

In the third consecutive night of the protests, about 667 people were arrested by law enforcers from Thursday to Friday overnight, Darmanin added. 

One protester reportedly passed away after succumbing to his injuries from falling from the roof of a shop in northwest France, sources reported.
