On Tuesday, March 3, the body of Jessim L. Was found burned in Sérézin-du-Rhône. Shot and killed, the ordeal of the presumed leader of the Jefe Mafia was documented by numerous videos posted on social media.
A commando of at least four individuals who kidnapped and then executed Jessim L. On Monday, March 2, documented their actions. Numerous videos surfaced on Snapchat, showing the presumed head of the Jefe Mafia, a group that had claimed responsibility for attacks on the homes of suspected drug dealers in the Lyon metropolitan area.
One of the first videos viewed by LyonMag showed the young man naked, lying in a pool of blood although a man brandished a jerrycan.
Two other videos showed Jessim L.’s face bloodied and disfigured from the beatings, followed by images of his burned body. These images were shared with the explicit understanding that they would only be reported on, not sensationalized.
A final video, captured not by the commando but by a passing motorist, documented the scene revealed by LyonMag: the violent abduction of Jessim L. On the M7 highway on Monday afternoon. The footage shows the car that picked him up as a hitchhiker overturned, the presumed leader of the Jefe Mafia fleeing on foot and jumping from an overpass, and his attackers returning in their sedan to retrieve him further down the road.

The videos, likely likewise obtained by law enforcement, may aid in the investigation opened by the Lyon prosecutor’s office on charges of aggravated murder, criminal association, and aggravated kidnapping. The brutal nature of the crime underscores the escalating violence within Lyon’s criminal underworld.
