Mexican TikToker Valeria Márquez shot dead while live streaming to her followers at beauty salon

A Mexican beauty influencer was brutally murdered yesterday while live streaming to her followers after a motorbike-riding gunman opened fire on her salon.

Footage shows the horrific moment 23-year-old TikToker and aesthetician Valeria Marquez was shot multiple times while broadcasting live from inside her beauty salon, Blossom the Beauty Lounge, in the western Mexican state of Jalisco.

The video shows a smiling Valeria looking out of the window momentarily before bullets strike her once in the chest and twice in the head. 

The influencer appears to place a hand over the gunshot wound near her ribcage before dropping dead. 

An unknown woman then appears in the clip, seemingly turning off the video. 

Initial reports say that a gunman entered her salon and shot her before fleeing on a motorbike. 

Paramedics rushed to the bloody scene, but Valeria was pronounced dead immediately. 

Police are currently investigating Valeria’s murder and have cordoned off the salon, while a manhunt is underway.
