A Mexican social media influencer was shot dead during a TikTok livestream, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Valeria Marquez, 23, who had nearly 200,000 followers on social media, was working at a beauty salon in Zapopan, Jalisco, central\u00a0Mexico<\/strong><\/a>, before the incident on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

On her\u00a0TikTok<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>livestream, Marquez was seen seated at a table holding a stuffed toy in front of her. She was heard saying, “They’re coming,” before a voice off-screen asked, “Hey, Vale?”<\/p>\n

“Yes,” Marquez responded before muting the sound on her livestream.<\/p>\n

She appeared to be speaking to someone off-camera when she was shot once in the head and once in the chest, killing her instantly.<\/p>\n

Marquez had said earlier in the livestream that someone had come to the salon when she was not there with an “expensive gift” for her.<\/p>\n

The Jalisco state prosecutor said in a statement that her death is being investigated as femicide – the killing of women or girls for reasons of gender.<\/p>\n

Gender-based violence is highly common in Mexico. According to the UN, 10 women or girls in the country are murdered every day by partners or family members.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor’s office did not name a suspect.<\/p>\n
