Former Argentina international Federico Martin Aramburu was reportedly shot dead in France early on Saturday, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

The 42-year-old, who was capped 22 times, played at the 2007 World Cup in France and scored a try against the hosts to help Argentina finish third.

According to L'Equipe, Aramburu was killed in a drive-by shooting in Paris, said BBC.

The French newspaper said he 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 murder investigation has been opened by the Paris prosecutor's office. Police are reported to be looking for three suspects, the report added.
