Nahel’s funeral is due to take place in his hometown of Nanterre this afternoon.
French media reports people are already flocking to the funeral home to pay their respects to Nahel and his family.
The funeral will be entirely private, and lawyers for Nahel’s mother have asked the media to stay away from the cemetery.
As our correspondents have been reporting, the situation in Nanterre has been tense ever since Nahel was shot and killed.
Although no public gatherings are planned to coincide with the funeral, spontaneous ones might occur.
