El Patron, also known as Patron.mp4, depicts a man identified as Leonardo Alexander Caripe Brito being shot multiple times in the face until his eyeball pops out. It was recorded on February 21, 2022, shortly after Leonardo was murdered. The footage was sent to other motorcycle taxi drivers as a warning to pay their quotas.

In the video, Leonardo is shown sitting on a sidewalk with a distressed expression, saying "tu dile el patrón" (you tell the boss) to the extortionist who is recording the video. The extortionist then pulls out a glock and shoots Leonardo in the face five times, causing blood to spray out of his nose and mouth. At the third shot, Leonardo's left eyeball pops out of its socket. As he collapses on the sidewalk, the camera pans to his face, which is bleeding profusely and has his left eyeball visibly displaced.
