The Mexican Titoker Valeria Marquez killed questions

When a 23 -year -old Mexican influencer was shot dead while broadcasting on Tiktok, rumors began to spin. Was Cartel success? Or another tragic example of violence against women?

On Tuesday, Valeria Marquez was shot in Blossom The Beauty Lounge, a cosmetic salon owned by the victim in Zabban, a town in the central state of Galissco.

The state prosecutor’s office said that he was investigating the crime as a pesticide, which means that he believes that the crime was driven by the fact that the victim was a woman.

“We are working to capture officials and discover the reason for this.”

But the fact that the crime occurred in Gallisco, the country in which the Cartel Gallisco Noya Noya Gennrasion appeared, which led to speculation by some that the cartel might participate in one way or another.

Mrs. Marquez was a Mexican model that began making a name for herself in 2021 after winning the Miss Rostro (Miss Face) competition, according to Mexican media reports.

Shortly after that, I started creating content on social media. She was sharing makeup advice and personal care procedures, talking about fashion and showing her trips.

Pictures of her on private aircraft and yachts can be seen on her Instagram account, which had more than 223,000 followers at the time of her death.

Mrs. Marquez also had 100,000 other followers on Tijook.

Although it is not clear exactly what happened, during the final live broadcast, Mrs. Marquis said she was waiting for a courier she knew to give a gift.

She added that she was somewhat worried, because her friend could not see the faster mail face when he arrived.

“Why did the (gift) not drop it? Was they accompanied me (kidnapped me) or what?” She wondered loudly to her followers.

While she was carrying a pink stuffed animal, Mrs. Marquez looked at the camera and immediately caught her chest and stomach before collapsing on her chair.

Another woman took the phone and finished the live broadcast.

The police arrived at the scene at approximately 18:30 local time (12:30 GMT) and confirmed the death of Mrs. Marquis, according to the state prosecutor.

The authorities say that at least two men on motorcycles arrived at the salon and asked one of them the victim if Valeria was. When she answered “Yes”, he took out a pistol and shot it at least twice before fleeing.

Investigators say they are checking CCTV footage and tracking social media accounts for Mrs. Marquez about evidence about who the attackers may be.

But the salon site in the wealthy Zabban area in Guadalajara raised questions about the motive behind the crime. While the presence of private security and the arrangement of its streets gives the impression that Zabban is a safe area, it is actually one of the most violent municipalities in Galisco. In fact, shootings occur regularly in luxury shopping centers in the area.

More than half of the real estate and commercial development in the region is associated with washing drug smuggling funds, according to the US Department of Justice.

Gallisco is ranked sixth among 32 states in Mexico, including Mexico City, in terms of murders, with 906 murders recorded since the beginning of the state of Claudia Shinbom in October 2024, according to TRESEARCH Data Consulting Company.

It is also one of the most affected Mexican countries from the cartals. It was here, 50 km from Zaboban, a Cartel training center was found in March, and here 15,000 people have disappeared since 2018.

On the same day that Marquis was killed, a former member of Congress named Luis Armando Cordoba Diaz was only two kilometers away, according to the newspaper. repair.

According to Gallisco, 90 % of the crimes have not been reported or investigated. The state prosecutor’s office has also been accused for a long time of links to the Cartitals it denies.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office said that yet they have no reason to doubt that the killing of Mrs. Marquez has ordered or implemented by any of the organized criminal groups operating in the region.

Instead, the office suggested that the killer may be excited to kill her because of her gender.

The Mexican media had previously published messages in which Mrs. Marquez blamed her former partner if anything happened to her.

The mayor of Zabban Juan Jose Franji said that his office has no record of Mrs. Marquis asking for help from the authorities because of the threats against her, adding, “Antibi is the worst thing,” according to the news agency.

“In response to the allegations indicating the alleged female perpetrators in Zabban, we explain that there are no direct accusations against any individual in the investigation file,” said the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Gallisco in a statement.

“All phrases and clues are analyzed, including videos and social media,” he added.

A gender -based violence represents a serious problem in Mexico, a country that ranks fourth in Latin America and the Caribbean Sea region of female rates, behind Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia.

According to the latest data from the United Nations Economic Committee of Latin America and the Caribbean Sea (ECLAC), there were 1.3 deaths per 100,000 women in Mexico in 2023, Reuters said.

Less than 48 hours before Mrs. Marquez was killed, Yassinia Lara Guterres was killed, a candidate from the mayor of Maurina (the ruling party) in the city of Tusstbeck, Veracrose, while participating in a political procession. Like the issue of the influence, the political murder was recorded by the cameras because the event was broadcast on Facebook.
