A Mexican social media influencer was fatally shot while livestreaming at a beauty salon in a region notorious for cartel violence; prosecutors indicate that she was the victim of a targeted attack by a hitman.
Valeria Márquez, a 23-year-old model and beauty influencer with more than 113,000 followers on TikTok, collapsed on camera after being shot in the head and chest by a masked gunman who fled the scene on a motorcycle with an accomplice, according to prosecutors.
The murder is being investigated as femicide, a gender-based crime under Mexican law; Mexican President Claudia extended her condolences to the Márquez’s family and stated that Mexico’s security cabinet is working to solve the murder with the prosecutor’s office.
