Driver in 2011 Tel Aviv Hit-And-Run Killed in Shooting Near Paris
PARIS — A French man convicted in a fatal 2011 hit-and-run in Tel Aviv was shot to death Thursday in a suburb of Paris, according to local reports.
Eric Robic, 51, was killed when two gunmen on a motor scooter opened fire at close range as he rode through the Hauts-de-Seine area. Police have not announced any arrests or identified a motive.
Deux hommes à scooter ont abattu Éric Robic à Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine) ce jeudi matin. Cet escroc de 51 ans avait fait parler de lui en 2011 après avoir tué une jeune israélienne dans un accident de la route.

Robic had acknowledged driving the car that struck and killed Lee Zeitouni, a 25-year-old woman, before fleeing France with a passenger after the incident.
France declined to extradite the suspects to Israel, and they were later prosecuted locally. Robic served a prison sentence, while the passenger received a lesser penalty for failing to assist the victim.
Zeitouni’s family said the killing brought a sense of closure, though authorities emphasized the investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
