For days, family and friends had been looking for 19-year-old Jesse from Leipzig, and now the young man has been found dead.
The missing man was apparently executed in cold blood with a shot in the head.
Leipzig – There has been no trace of Jesse from Leipzig since January 11, 2022.
Family, friends and the police were looking for the 19-year-old.
According to an acquaintance, the young man was last seen boarding a train at the main train station in Halle.
But on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, then the sad certainty: the 19-year-old is dead. Not much is known about the background so far, but the young man seems to have fallen victim to a terrible crime.

As the police announced in an official statement on Tuesday, the body of a young man was found north of Leipzig.
According to previous knowledge, it should be the 19-year-old wanted.
An autopsy should now officially clarify this point.
However, it already seems clear to investigators that the young man was the victim of a homicide.
As the police continue to explain, a 20-year-old from Germany was provisionally arrested in the course of the investigation.

However , as

claims to have learned from security circles, the 19-year-old is said to have been found with a shot in the head.
So far, the trail is said to lead into the drug milieu.
Whether the provisionally arrested is actually behind the cold-blooded headshot is said to have
initially raised doubts among investigators , according to information from the

On Wednesday, the paper then reported, citing the public prosecutor's office, that an arrest warrant had actually been issued against the 20-year-old.
So far it is unclear whether the arrested person is also the young man who claims to have last seen Jesse at the train station.
In November, the disappearance of a 14-year-old made headlines, and she was found dead shortly thereafter.
