    Valeria Marquez was addressing her TikTok followers in a livestream from her beauty salon in Zapopan, Mexico, when someone arrived at her door to deliver a small parcel.
    “He’s a little piglet!” the 23-year-old beauty influencer exclaimed as she returned to her viewers and unwrapped the stuffed animal, smiling as she tossed her long blonde hair over her shoulder.

    Moments later she was dead, slumped over in her chair with blood pooling on the desk in front of her, even as the livestream continued. The footage ended only when another person picked up her phone, their face momentarily showing to viewers.
    According to the state of Jalisco’s Attorney General’s office, Marquez was shot dead by a male intruder into her salon in a case it is investigating as a suspected femicide – the killing of a woman or girl for gender-based reasons.
    The death of Marquez – a public figure with more than 100,000 Instagram followers – has sent shockwaves through a country that has long struggled with high levels of both homicide and violence against women.

  8. I saw the video yesterday and I honestly thought it was fake at first. Awful thing to happen to anyone.

  10. Even if they catch the guy because it’s Mexico he’ll get sentenced to 23 minutes in jail.

  12. I have a feeling we are going to be hearing a lot about these types of events over the next 2 years

  14. Didn’t a mayor candidate just get gunned down? It’s tragic and awful, but what moves the needle anymore?

  15. Terrible terrible. I didn’t watch the video (and hope I don’t accidentally come across it) but I hope she didn’t see it coming. The literal only saving grace would be if the last thing she experienced was cooing at a cute gift and sharing it with her audience.

  17. She is well known for glorifying the narco culture and bragging about all the free gifts she got from “friends” is sad that she was murder but not surprised about it.

  19. It is Mexico where such events happen everyday. A failed narco state.

  22. Jesus, what the fuck are they doing over in that fucking country?

  25. Isn’t this the third or 4th such live video killing this month? A bunch of mayors and such were killed while live on campaign etc as well. Think all were also female but I may be misremembering

  26. Please someone take me away this timeline.

    And the candidate gunned down just this week… This is exhausting.

  28. Watched the video, idk anything about this woman, but that last frames of the video was another woman who saw the whole thing and didn’t even faze. That was bizzare.

  30. Damn. Just like that her life is over, before she could even blink. RIP

  31. People like to point fingers and forget that MOST places are fucked up in some way to some group of people. Must of y’all pointing fingers are in places (based on your comment history) where things like SA are normalized or you can be shot for being a woman with an opinion or gay. And spare me with the examples of countries that have a population of 4 digits.

    HUMANS are fucked up.
