The Mexican beauty influencer Valeria Marquez was shot down to the camera during a live stream Tiktok.
Marquez, 23, was seated inside a beauty salon in Zapopan when live images caught the shocking incident. The influencer, who wore the same body she wore in her last Instagram photo, was seen holding a plush pig on her lap in the moments before her death.
We heard him say in Spanish: “They come”, before an off -screen voice welcomed him with: “Hey, Vale?” Marquez then replied “yes” and stifled the sound on the stream. A few seconds later, she seemed to be killed by a firearm.
His Instagram followed a ball of less than 100,000 to almost 260,000 following the news while a mixture of support and shock was paid in the comments of his recent messages.
The city’s police and paramedical paramedics confirmed the death of Marquez upon their arrival on the scene, according to the office of the attorney general of the State of Jalisco. The office said on Tuesday that murder was investigated for a potential femicide, which is defined by the UN as “intentional murder with gender motivation”.
Research from the Statita data collection platform classified Mexico as the highest nation for Latin American femicides in 2023. The country recorded nearly 800 cases in 2024, a decrease compared to previous years. The victims tended to have pre -existing family or community relationships with their attackers, according to Statista.
The initial surveys for the murder of Marquez revealed that a man had entered the premises and had apparently pulled a weapon over her. Investigators continue to collect evidence. According to Tuesday’s declaration, Marquez’s body was to be transferred to the installations of the Jalisco Institute of the Judicial Sciences, where it would expect an official identification and an autopsy.
