64th feminicide of the year, the young woman was murdered in front of her home by gunshot on July 18, 2021. The alleged murderer was found dead after two days on the run in nature.

Sunday July 18, 2021, at Plan-de-la-Tour near Ste Maxime, a 32-year-old young woman was found shot dead in front of her home. This is Doriane Ragon. Very quickly, the trail of feminicide emerges, the 64th of the year according to the Twitter account Feminicides By Companions or Ex. Who was she?

Described by the inhabitants of her commune as a young woman “very appreciated, gentle, calm”, she had family and friends in the surrounding towns, says Var Morning. Doriane worked as a home help for retired people from the town. She was also the very caring mother of an 11-year-old girl who was absent at the time of the incident. The young woman was returning from a birthday party at the time of the tragedy.

She felt in danger

The murder suspect was found dead on Tuesday, July 20, 2021 after two days on the run. He would have made advances to her that she had refused. Since then, the man has been harassing her with messages, going so far as to sleep in front of her door according to witnesses interviewed by BFMTV. Doriane knew that Marc Floris had a gun and was starting to be afraid of him.
The suspect possessed a weapon which he had already shown to his victim and exercised psychological violence on her. According to the gendarmerie of the Alpes-Maritimes, the man would have been taken by a stroke of madness. Thus assimilating this act to the “crime of passion”. Let us therefore remind ourselves, with the collective Let’s take the front page, than “There is no such thing as a crime of passion. Violence against women is very real.”
