The man who killed an Israeli woman in a hit-and-run and fled the country was shot dead Thursday morning near Paris. Éric Robic, 51, was killed at around 9:30 a.m. in Neuilly-sur-Seine, in what French media described as a targeted shooting.

According to reports, two helmeted gunmen on a scooter approached Robic on Boulevard Victor Hugo, opened fire, and fled within seconds. Emergency teams treated him at the scene, but he was pronounced dead about 40 minutes later.

French authorities have opened an investigation, led by prosecutors in Nanterre. At this stage, no motive has been identified, and there is no official indication linking the shooting to Robic’s past case in Israel.

Robic was convicted in France over the 2011 hit-and-run killing of Lee Zeitouni in Tel Aviv. Zeitouni, 25, was struck while crossing a street. Robic and another French national fled Israel shortly after the incident, leading to a prolonged legal process before they were eventually tried and sentenced in France.

Beyond that case, Robic was known to French police for other offenses, including fraud. In recent years, he had continued to face legal trouble, though it remains unclear whether Thursday’s shooting was connected to those activities.
