French prosecutors have opened a judicial investigation after investigators said one of the attackers filmed the fatal assault on 17-year-old Louis before the footage helped police identify five suspects. He was discovered by a construction worker at about 9:00 a.m. the following morning and was taken first to Narbonne Hospital before being transferred to Perpignan for specialist treatment.
Louis spent three days in a medically induced coma before dying in the hospital on Tuesday. Prosecutors believe he was lured to a construction site on Quai d'Alsace in Narbonne on the evening of 19 June, where he was allegedly attacked by a group before being left at the site.
