Mexican beauty influencer tragically killed during a TikTok livestream.

Valeria Marquez, a 23-year-old Mexican beauty influencer, was tragically shot and killed during a TikTok livestream at her salon in Guadalajara.

The Jalisco state prosecutor's office is treating the case as a femicide, which is the murder of a woman based on her gender. Gender-based violence is a significant issue in Mexico, with the UN reporting that 10 women and girls are killed each day by partners or family members. The motive for the attack is still unclear, and no suspect has been named yet. Ms. Marquez had a substantial following of nearly 200,000 on TikTok and Instagram. Her death has shocked and saddened her fans and has brought further attention to the prevalence of violence against women in the country.
