CroatiaA Mexican influencer named César Gastélum was killed during a live TikTok broadcast on Tuesday evening. He and two friends were wearing bright orange jackets and bags typically used by delivery drivers when they were approached by two men on motorcycles. One of the men shot Gastélum in the head at close range. Initially, police suspected the victim was a delivery driver due to his clothing, but later confirmed he was Gastélum. The crime scene has been secured, and authorities are analyzing bullet casings and surveillance footage. The perpetrators fled the scene and have not yet been arrested. A highly disturbing video of the shooting has circulated on social media, though it will not be published here. This incident follows the murder last year of another influencer, Leobardo Aispur, whose killing was possibly linked to rivalry between factions of the Sinaloa cartel. Earlier this year, 23-year-old Valeria Márquez was also killed while livestreaming on TikTok.
