IrelandA Mexican TikTok influencer named Cesar Gastelum was fatally shot during a livestream outside a restaurant in Sinaloa state, where gang-related violence is common. The incident occurred in a busy shopping plaza near the Sinaloa prosecutor's office in Culiacán, the state capital. Gastelum, who had over 500,000 followers, was participating in a challenge wearing food delivery uniforms with two friends. A motorcycle arrived, and the rider reportedly shot him in the head. Local authorities later confirmed his identity and age as 25, noting he posted lifestyle content. The livestream was removed by the platform, but video footage and images of the attack continue to circulate. This follows reports of around a dozen influencers, some linked to criminal gangs, being killed in the region over the past two years due to ongoing conflicts within local cartels.
