Mexican social media influencer Valeria Márquez, 23, was fatally shot during a TikTok livestream in Jalisco. Prosecutors believe she was targeted by a hitman, possibly hired due to her perceived connection to organized crime. Márquez expressed fear moments before her death, receiving a gift from two men before being shot. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel's influence in the region is noted, and investigations are ongoing, linking the murder to possible cartel activity and the recent killing of a former congressman. The incident highlights Mexico's femicide epidemic and violence against influencers.
