An influencer was killed during a street robbery just minutes after posting his final video.
Jean Claude Bossard filmed himself walking around his local neighbourhood.
He told his fans: “I get around on foot, always on foot.
“Better on foot than in a car, because if you crash, the chance of it exploding and killing you is huge.
“But, well, what do you care about that?”
The influencer, who criticised electric cars in a previous video, added: “There’s still nothing that can turn off that battery, but of course, riding around on a bomb with wheels is something you want.”
Minutes later, he was reportedly attacked by two men on a motorbike who tried to steal his phone, backpack and gold chain.
Jean Claude fought back and was shot twice at close range, according to reports.
The police said CCTV footage showed him struggling with one of the assailants for around 28 seconds.
The 29-year-old was killed several blocks from his home in the Colombian capital Bogotá on Tuesday (2 Dec).
Shortly after the alleged shooting, the police intercepted the suspects’ motorcycle.
One suspect was killed during a standoff and his accomplice, an unnamed 16-year-old, was placed under arrest.
Jean Claude, who spoke Spanish, English, French and German, posted another video on Instagram Stories just before his death, as reported by Need To Know.
On his account, which has the description ‘your trusted influencer’, he said: “While I’m walking to the office, I’ll throw down this fact and leave it with you.
“Here in Colombia, it’s amazing how people confuse being a decent person with being a jerk.
“I mean, people want to take advantage of you because you’re decent, I don’t understand.”
His family described him as a disciplined young man, educated at the German School of Barranquilla, with a university degree and a passion for “model aircrafts and high-cylinder motorcycles”.
According to his father, Jean Claude enjoyed “travelling around the country” on his motorbike.
His parents wanted him to move to Paris where his sister lives, but he refused to leave his home country.
He told his dad: “I’m not leaving here; this is my country, this is my land.”
Bogotá mayor Carlos Fernando Galán said: “I deeply regret the murder of Jean Claude Bossard during an attempted robbery.
“During the incident, one of the robbers was killed and the other captured.
“Cases like this cannot continue to happen in Bogotá.”
The investigation into the influencer’s alleged murder is ongoing.
