Paris: Former Argentina rugby player Federico Martin Aramburu was reportedly shot dead early on Saturday. He was 42.
Aramburu was capped 22 times and also played at the 2007 World Cup in France. He was killed in a drive-by shooting in Paris, according to L'Equipe.
The French nationwide daily newspaper stated that Aramburu had been involved in an early-morning argument in a bar with a group of people who later returned in a car and shot him.
A tribute was paid to Aramburu before France's Six Nations finale against England at Stade de France, with his image shown on the stadium's big screen, reported BBC.
Paris prosecutor's office has opened a murder investigation, with police looking for three suspects. (UNI)
