In May, Mexican star Tiktok Valeria márquez was shot down during a live flow. Prosecutors said a hitman may have targeted it. She was 21 years old.
At the time, Denis RodríguezA spokesperson for the Office of the State Prosecutor of Jalisco, told AP News that the death of the 23-year-old influencer was still the subject of an investigation.
Before Márquez was murdered, Rodríguez said that a man posing as a delivery man and another man on a motorcycle had arrived in a beauty salon located in the metropolitan region of Guadalajara. The men were trying to deliver a gift to Márquez in person – which prompted him to worry about live broadcasting.
“Maybe they were going to kill me,” said Márquez in the video, according to the point of sale. “Was they going to come and take me, or what?” I am worried. “
When the men returned, they again looked for Márquez. Rodríguez told the point of sale that the men asking Márquez led prosecutors to believe that they had been hired murderers.
“The attacker arrived by asking him if the victim was there. He therefore seems that he did not know her,” said Rodríguez. “With that, you can deduct – without jumping to conclusions – that it was a person who was paid. She was obviously someone who came with a goal.”
AP reported that Márquez had received a plush animal and a bag of Starbucks coffee when it was on the live flow and collapsed in front of the camera after being killed. (The Tiktok of Márquez seemed to be withdrawn after his death, but a video of the incident circulated online and was confirmed by the prosecutor’s office.)
