Security cameras at the influencer’s beauty salon captured the exact moment the incident occurred, and other cameras in the neighborhood also recorded the incident.
In a matter of seconds, a TikTok live broadcast became the scene of a tragedy. Valeria Márquez, a 23-year-old woman with thousands of followers on social media, was attacked inside her own beauty salon located in the Real del Carmen neighborhood of Zapopan, Jalisco.
The incident occurred while he was live-streaming to his fans and talking about a mysterious gift that had been promised to be delivered to him personally.
It all happened on Tuesday, May 13, around 6:30 pm. According to her acquaintances, Valeria had mentioned that a woman named Érika had called her to say that someone wanted to send her a gift, but on the condition that she deliver it in person.
She shared it on her social media and seemed suspicious of the strange request. “Who’s going to give me something?” she said ironically during the broadcast.
In one of her videos, she can be heard saying: “Man, maybe they were going to kill me. An expensive gift… They were going to get me. I was worried …” What seemed like an exaggeration ended up becoming a warning that no one knew how to read in time.
Witnesses say a hooded man entered the establishment, asked for her and, upon recognizing her, pulled out a gun and fired four times. Valeria fell instantly, while everything was broadcast live. Next to the attacker there was another person waiting outside on a motorcycle. Both escaped before anyone could stop them.

Jalisco Attorney General’s Office spokeswoman Denia Rodríguez confirmed that the man who entered the store did not know Valeria. According to her, this suggests that the man received an order, as he asked for the young woman before shooting.
Therefore, the case is being treated under the femicide protocol, and they do not rule out the possibility that someone was hired to carry out the task.
Days after the attack, new elements emerged in the investigation. The beauty salon’s cameras, located under the main awning, were removed by the investigating officers.
They left only one cable hanging, according to Teledario Guadalajara. However, some images are already in the hands of the authorities, although they are not of the desired quality.
In turn, TVNotas quoted the Coordinator of the Jalisco Security Office, who explained that there was sensitive information that could not be made public so as not to hinder the case. What was confirmed is that the recordings that they managed to recover show the two men involved and the escape route they took.
Although their identities have not yet been revealed, there are already clear indications of their involvement. Authorities are analyzing other cameras near the business to try to locate them more precisely.
Meanwhile, TikTok deactivated Valeria Márquez’s account after the case became public , and the video in which everything happened was removed from the platforms.
