Influencer Valeria Márquez tragically murdered at a beauty salon in Jalisco, Mexico
A 23-year-old influencer, Valeria Márquez, was shot and killed on Tuesday at a beauty salon in Jalisco, Mexico, while she was livestreaming on TikTok. According to the state prosecutor’s office, the incident took place in Zapopan, a part of the Guadalajara metropolitan area.
The influencer, who had around 113,000 followers on TikTok, was streaming when two men on a motorbike arrived at the salon. One of the men, wearing a mask, entered the salon and directly approached Ms. Márquez, asking if she was Valeria. Upon confirming her identity, the man pulled out a gun, shot her, and quickly fled the scene.
Despite her TikTok account being taken down, a video of the tragic killing was circulated online. The footage, verified by the prosecutor’s office, showed Ms. Márquez sitting in a chair at the salon with a pink stuffed pig in her lap. Moments later, she was seen clutching her chest and stomach before slumping over in her chair.
Following the shooting, another woman's face briefly appeared in the video before it abruptly ended. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, with authorities working to identify and apprehend the perpetrators responsible for this heinous crime.
