THIS is the shocking moment a beauty influencer is shot dead in a horror attack whilst broadcasting on TikTok in front of terrified fans.
Social media star Valeria Márquez was livestreaming for her 105,000 online fans when a gunman reportedly entered her beauty salon in Mexico.
The depraved killer opened fire on the influencer whilst she was holding a pink stuffed toy.
Harrowing footage showed the moments before Márquez’s death.
She appeared to scan the entrance of the shop innocently, seemingly unaware of what would happen next.
Seconds after that, she suffers multiple gunshot wounds.
A woman then approaches the tragic streamer, and turns off the video.
The suspect was seen fleeing the scene on a motorbike with an accomplice, according to NeedToKnow.
Local media speculated that the two people arrived outside her salon pretending to be deliverymen.
The suspected shooter told her he had an “expensive gift” for her before allegedly opening fire.
The shocking footage was captured at the victim’s salon Blossom the Beauty Lounge, in the city of Zapopan on May 13.
Terrified viewers tuned in to the livestream at the time were left stunned, with many refusing to believe it was real at first.
Paramedics rushed to the scene shortly after, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
A call made to police reported her death about 6:30pm on Tuesday.
Her body was later taken to a nearby morgue to be identified by family members.
Cops shut off the area around the victim’s shop to collect evidence.
They have since launched a probe and a manhunt is underway.
Márquez had 84,000 followers on Instagram, where she also shared beauty content and comedy clips for her fans.
The original footage of her liverstream has since been removed from her page.
The prosecutor’s office confirmed that during the initial investigation it was determined that the woman was in her establishment when a man entered and fatally shot her multiple times with a firearm.
Mexico has the second highest number of femicides in Latin America, according to the UN.
In December, a TikTok star and model was shot dead outside a gym reportedly in a targeted attack in Tijuana, Mexico.
Fedra Oded Gaxiola Orozco, 24, was gunned down in broad daylight while sitting in her black Mercedes Benz.
