It says one of the elephants charged before the group was able to find a spot to aim and shoot.
According to the Journal Du Cameroun, regional police spokesperson Maureen Mbeha told journalists that "the deceased was a professional hunter who had a hunting permit with him".
Monzalvez is not the first hunter to be killed by an elephant this year. In May, South African big-game hunter Theunis Botha, was crushed to death by a female elephant after he fatally wounded her in Zimbabwe.
"The dying female managed to pick up Botha with her trunk before collapsing and crushing the hunter to death," says Yahoo.
Botha was a well-known hunter in Zimbabwe and he spent time in the US to recruit wealthy Americans to join him on hunts.
