French president Emmanuel Macron has called for calm after a third day of rioting throughout France.
There have been lots of protests in the country after French police shot a 17-year-old driver who refused to stop for a traffic check.
President Macron is going to hold another government emergency meeting after Thursday's night of unrest.
"Nothing justifies the death of a young person," President Macron told reporters in Marseille, calling for "calm for justice to be done".
He added: "I would like to express the feelings of the entire nation at what has happened and the death of young Nahel, and to tell his family of our solidarity and the nation's affection.
"We have a teenager who has been killed. It's inexplicable, unforgivable."
Macron said the case was immediately being referred to the courts.
Lots of other politicians and French celebrities have also spoken out about what happened.
What happened after Nahel's death?
Violence broke out following Nahel's death and more than 660 people have been arrested as clashes between police and protesters in France continued for a third night.
Town halls, schools and police stations were set on fire or attacked in regions around Paris and clashes have also happened across other French cities and towns including Nanterre, where Nahel was from and where the incident took place.
Cars were set alight, fireworks thrown at police, shops ransacked and public buildings were attacked in several places. Lots of riot police were called in to manage the unrest.
The president has described the riots as "unjustifiable" and held an emergency meeting with ministers.
The officer who shot Nahel has apologised to the family. He has been charged with voluntary homicide and his lawyer says he is "devastated".
