Mexican TikTok Beauty Influencer Shot Dead During Live Stream, Shocking Video Goes Viral
In a chilling incident that has sparked outrage and raised concerns about public safety in Mexico, 23-year-old TikTok beauty influencer **Valeria Márquez** was shot and killed while broadcasting live on TikTok from a beauty salon. The video of the attack has since gone viral on social media.
According to international news agencies, Valeria was sitting in a beauty salon during a live stream, holding a toy in her hands and interacting with her followers. Moments later, gunshots were heard, and a woman quickly ended the live stream.
Police officials reported that a lone gunman entered the salon and opened fire directly at Valeria. Authorities are investigating the killing as a **femicide** — a gender-based hate crime, which is a growing concern in Mexico.
Valeria had a combined following of over 200,000 on Instagram and TikTok, where she was known for her beauty tutorials and personal content. Her murder has not only shocked her fans but also ignited a debate over rising violence and impunity in Mexico, especially concerning the safety of women and influencers.
Critics say this brutal act once again exposes the fragile state of law and order in the country and puts a spotlight on the urgent need for gender-sensitive reforms in the justice system.
