News:
In a TikTok video, Valeria was seen at her beauty salon, Blossom The Beauty Lounge, located in Jalisco, Mexico. While addressing her audience, she shared that an individual named Érika had informed her about a package that was meant to be delivered directly to her.
During the broadcast, Márquez relayed that Érika had conveyed the following: a man had come to the salon, inquired about Valeria, and mistakenly believing that Érika was her, refused to leave the package behind.
He also mentioned that he was required to take a photograph of the influencer upon receiving the package, which raised suspicion and discomfort in Valeria. In a concerned tone, she remarked, “Perhaps they intended to kill me.”
The gunshot wounds to her abdomen and head resulted in her immediate death, despite the prompt arrival of paramedics at the scene.
What astonished viewers the most was that, following the gunfire, the woman identified as Érika, who had already participated in the conversation during the video, took the phone and ended the live broadcast, all without displaying any emotion.
Her face, visible for a brief moment on the screen, was devoid of expression, which drew even more attention on social media.
Érika had previously appeared in live streams alongside Valeria, and they were connected through their personal accounts as well as those of the beauty salon. Media outlets such as El Clarín have gathered this information to highlight the relationship between the two women.
The case remains under investigation by the Zapopan Prosecutor’s Office, which regards femicide as the primary hypothesis.
Authorities have issued an official statement clarifying that there are currently no arrests or identified suspects, and that no direct accusations have been made against anyone in the investigation file.
This crime is also connected to prior threats that Valeria allegedly received from an ex-boyfriend, which she publicly shared on social media.
