    For anyone wondering, the first guy killed was the ex-employer of the killer, and one (or maybe two) of the two security guards were his ex-colleagues. The two migrants had probably nothing to do with the killer and were collateral victimes… Impossible to know the race of the killer, but based on the boss name, the boss was a local guy from the North of France or Belgium.
