In April, a young man was shot in the head in broad daylight in a Lyon suburb.

He had been recruited via the messaging app Telegram to guard a drug-dealing spot, just like his alleged murderer. The killing was filmed and broadcast on Snapchat.

The person who ordered the crime has yet to be identified.
