Tragic news has emerged about popular beauty influencer Valeria Marquez, who was fatally shot in her own salon, according to a CNN report. The 23-year-old was livestreaming on TikTok from her beauty salon in Zapopan, Mexico, when the horrifying incident occurred.
While on the livestream, Marquez received a package from someone who arrived at the door. She cheerfully unwrapped a stuffed animal, jokingly calling it “a little piglet” to her viewers. But moments later, she was found slumped over her desk, with blood pooling in front of her — all while the livestream was still live.
The broadcast ended only after someone else picked up her phone and briefly showed their face to viewers.
Authorities in Jalisco confirmed that Marquez was shot by a male intruder and said they are investigating the case as a femicide—meaning it is believed she was targeted and killed because she was a woman.
This shocking event has deeply unsettled people in Mexico and around the world, sparking widespread conversations and grief on social media. The investigation is ongoing as the community searches for answers and justice.
