August 2024 shootout

In the early morning of August 26th, 2024, on a road in the Grand Travers district of Mauguio-Carnon, following a showcase by SCH in a nearby La Grande-Motte nightclub, a car transporting several members of the rapper's entourage was hit by automatic gunfire from another vehicle transporting four people. The vehicle's passenger was killed, while the driver sustained life-threatening injuries. SCH was likely targeted, but changed cars at the end of his performance, which may have saved his life. A police investigation into the matter was opened.
