Nahel M was a 17-year-old teenager from Nanterre, a town west of Paris, whose killing ignited violent riots in France.
The riots have resulted in chaos, with videos and photos circulating on social media showing widespread unrest.
More than 600 people have been arrested, and over 200 police officers have been injured during the ongoing protests.
French President Emmanuel Macron has announced the deployment of additional police to restore order.
Nahel M was a delivery driver and rugby player of Algerian descent who lived with his mother in Nanterre.
He was shot by the police after allegedly not stopping his car when ordered to do so.
The incident has raised questions about police tactics and sparked outrage among the community.
President Macron has urged parents to keep their teenagers at home and prevent them from participating in the street violence.
Social media and violent video games have been identified as factors fueling copycat violence, according to President Macron.
