## Reported figures

## Coverage angles

Center and right-leaning media cover the same decision by the Grenoble prosecutor to send the main suspect before the assize court, but the right leans more heavily on the suspect's criminal profile and the material circumstances of the tragedy, while the center focuses on the procedure and the identity of the actors.

**Common ground**

- The Grenoble prosecutor requests the referral of the main suspect before the assize court
- The victim, Lilian Dejean, a 49-year-old municipal agent, died by gunshot in September 2024 while trying to stop a fleeing suspect
- The suspect is identified as Abdoul Diallo

**Differences**

- The right side details the number of previous convictions of the suspect, an element absent in center articles
- The right side mentions the homicidal intent retained by the magistrates, not mentioned in center excerpts
- The right side specifies the model and license plate of the vehicle involved, a detail absent in center excerpts
