She was 23 years old, live on TikTok, and smiling at her phone when the sound of gunfire cut the stream short.
On May 14, 2025, Mexican influencer Valeria Márquez was sh-t and k-lled inside her beauty salon in Zapopan, Jalisco, an attack that unfolded in real time before thousands of viewers. Moments before it happened, she looked toward the door and said, “They’re coming,” her voice uneasy. Seconds later, a man entered the shop, and the broadcast ended.
Investigators later confirmed she had been shot in the chest and head. No one in the salon survived long enough to explain what happened. Authorities are treating the case as a possible f-micide, and U.S. officials have since linked her m-rder to members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), who were later sanctioned.
What began as another livestream for her followers became one of the most chilling d-aths ever broadcast online, a reminder that sometimes, the last thing the world sees is not a performance, but the moment everything ends. NB: Her friend was a suspect.
