La Depeche report that Christopher Aurier, 26, was found in a
critical condition in the early hours of Monday morning after
being shot in the stomach.
The incident is understood to have occurred outside a nightclub.
Aurier was pronounced dead at Toulouse University Hospital.
The suspect has not yet been found, according to local reports.
Serge Aurier, a year older than Christopher at 27, has been
playing for Tottenham since 2017.
He had previously spent his entire club career in France,
starting off at Lens, then moving to Toulouse in 2012 and PSG –
initially on loan – two years later.
He started for Spurs in Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Arsenal in the
north London derby.
Christopher followed in his elder brother’s footsteps, training as
a footballer at Lens.
Christopher Aurier was tragically killed in France
He once had a trial at Brentford but was unable to secure a deal
and later moved abroad before returning to the Toulouse region
to sign for Rodeo FC.
Speaking of his short spell with Brentford in 2011, Christopher
said: “Brentford were in League One at the time. Everything
went well with my trial, but I could not speak English at the
time.
“The coach [Uwe Rosler] told me: ‘It’s a shame you can’t
understand my instructions. I’d have signed you otherwise.’
“I had a trial at Stalybridge, but I did not like it as it was too far
away. So I left them – only to spend seven months with a club
in Qatar.”
