The call concerns both the facade cameras and connected doorbells of the residents, as well as the on-board cameras (dashcams) of vehicles that were circulating on Doctor Zamenhof Avenue and around the canal at the time of the incident. The police also invite any direct witnesses of the scene to come forward to identify any other accomplices.

To recall, the tragedy unfolded during a brawl between youths. The victim, sprayed with a flammable liquid, was turned into a human torch before throwing himself into the canal to survive. Severely burned, the teenager is now out of danger but is beginning a long convalescence.
