**TikTok Star Valeria Márquez Tragically Killed During Livestream in Mexico**
Valeria Márquez, a 23-year-old TikTok influencer, was shot dead while streaming in a beauty salon in Jalisco, highlighting the alarming violence against women in Mexico.
In a shocking incident, 23-year-old TikTok influencer Valeria Márquez was fatally shot on Tuesday while livestreaming from a beauty salon in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. According to the local prosecutor's office, the attack occurred as she was engaging with her 113,000 followers on the platform.
Eyewitness accounts describe how two men arrived on a motorcycle; one entered the salon wearing a mask and directly asked for Márquez by name. Upon confirming her identity, the assailant pulled out a firearm and shot her, before escaping on the bike with his accomplice.
Tragically, a video of the incident circulated online, confirmed by prosecutors, capturing the moment when Márquez, holding a plush pink pig, was suddenly attacked. The footage shows her sitting in her chair before she slumps over, visibly wounded. At the time police arrived, she was still in that position, with the stuffed toy in her lap.
Following the incident, the prosecutor’s office stated they had no suspects but were actively reviewing surveillance footage and examining Márquez's social media presence for potential leads. It appears the attackers had visited earlier that day under the pretense of delivering a gift, suggesting they likely did not know her personally, as they needed to inquire about her identity.
This heartbreaking case has sparked urgent conversations about the increasing violence faced by women in Mexico, drawing national and international attention to the issue.
