The murder of influencer César Gastélum in Culiacán, Sinaloa has reignited debate over the rise of so-called narco influencers. His death was caught on camera Tuesday evening. Two men on a motorcycle calmly approached Gastélum, who was live streaming with his friends outside a fast-food restaurant in Tres Ríos. As his two companions tried to move away, Gastélum was shot at close range.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed Gastélum's murder. In a press conference, she said: 'The investigation will be carried out to stop those responsible.' Authorities are looking at possible links to local cartels in their investigation as Sinaloa has become an epicentre of violence.
