The investigation into the shocking murder of 23-year-old beauty influencer Valeria Márquez, who was gunned down during a livestream from her beauty salon, has taken a major turn after authorities formally rejected early reports linking her death to a notorious cartel leader.
As Bored Panda previously reported, the influencer was broadcasting live to her over 110,000 TikTok followers from her beauty salon in Jalisco, Mexico, when a man disguised as a delivery driver entered the salon and shot her three times.
The gruesome incident deeply moved the nation, which has been experiencing an increase in gender-based violence since 2015.
