More harrowing details have come to light regarding the tragic demise of Valeria Marquez, a 23-year-old beauty influencer. On May 13, in the very salon where she pursued her passion in Jalisco, Mexico, Marquez's life was abruptly ended by a fatal gunshot. Chillingly, her final moments were captured on a TikTok livestream, where she briefly interacted with her alleged attacker just before the tragic event unfolded.
The video, which has now been circulated widely across various platforms, depicts Marquez saying "it's coming" in Spanish, before exchanging warm greetings with an unseen individual off-camera. "Hey, Valeria?" the voice inquired, to which she replied, "Yes," in her native tongue.
Shortly thereafter, Marquez, who was seated at a table in the salon cradling a stuffed animal, seemingly muted the livestream while the video continued to roll. In the harrowing final seconds of the footage, Marquez clutched her abdomen as blood started to pool on the table, her body slumping over the chair in a distressing display.
The shooting transpired at approximately 6:30 p.m. local time. Following the incident, police received a 911 call and promptly arrived at the scene, as reported by the local attorney general's office. Paramedics on site confirmed that Marquez had no vital signs upon their arrival.
The preliminary report further indicated that the incident was being investigated as a femicide, a term used to describe the killing of a woman or girl due to gender-based motives. In a subsequent press release issued on May 14, the attorney general's office, which has yet to name a suspect, noted that no specific charges have been filed in the case as of yet.
In the wake of Marquez's untimely death, numerous fans and followers have paid their respects to the late content creator by leaving heartfelt comments on her social media posts, which featured an array of professional modeling photos and selfies. "No one deserves to die that way," one fan wrote, translating their sentiment into Spanish. "May this beautiful young woman rest in peace." Another user remarked on Marquez's beauty, adding, "I hope justice is served; she didn't deserve that ending."
