Video shows moments mexican tiktoker Valeria Marquez shot and killed while livestreaming
Valeria Márquez, a well-known 23-year-old TikTok content creator, was tragically shot and killed on Tuesday evening while livestreaming from her beauty salon in Jalisco, Mexico, according to the Jalisco State Attorney General’s Office.
The incident occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m. local time at “Blossom the Beauty Lounge,” a business reportedly operated by Márquez.
Authorities stated that an unidentified male suspect arrived at the location on a motorcycle, entered the salon, and opened fire.
Márquez, who had amassed nearly 200,000 followers on TikTok and was known for her beauty and lifestyle content, was broadcasting live to her audience at the time of the attack.
According to reports, she was shot in the chest and head. The livestream captured the moment she collapsed to the floor.
Shortly afterward, a woman present in the salon can be seen picking up the phone and ending the broadcast. The identity of the woman has not been confirmed.
Emergency services responded to the scene, but Márquez was pronounced dead at the location.
The suspect fled immediately after the shooting and remains at large, officials said.
The Jalisco Attorney General’s Office has launched a formal investigation under the femicide protocol—a legal framework activated when a woman’s killing is believed to be motivated by gender-based violence.
This step reflects the seriousness with which authorities are treating the case and signals a focus on determining whether Márquez was targeted specifically because of her gender.
As of now, no arrests have been made, and authorities have not disclosed additional details.
The investigation remains ongoing.

Venezuelan national Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis shot in the leg by an immigration agent in Minneapolis
On January 14, 2025, federal law enforcement personnel were engaged in a targeted enforcement operation involving Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national who has been present in the United States since 2022.
The operation escalated into a high-speed pursuit, a physical confrontation, and an ambush by multiple subjects, necessitating the use of a defensive firearm discharge by a federal agent.
At approximately 6:50 PM, federal officers initiated a targeted traffic stop of a vehicle operated by Sosa-Celis.
The subject refused to comply with law enforcement commands and attempted to flee the scene.
During the pursuit, the subject’s vehicle collided with a stationary, parked car.
Following the collision, the subject abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene on foot.
A federal agent pursued the suspect on foot and successfully intercepted him. As the agent attempted to effect an arrest, the subject became combative, resulting in a violent struggle on the ground.
During this confrontation, two additional male subjects emerged from a nearby residence to intervene.
These individuals reportedly ambushed the agent, utilizing a snow shovel and a broom handle to strike the officer.
The situation escalated when the primary suspect, Sosa-Celis, regained his footing and joined the two additional subjects in the assault.
Reports indicate the suspect struck the agent with a blunt object (identified as either the shovel or broom handle).
Citing an immediate threat to his life while being outnumbered and actively assaulted by three individuals, the agent discharged his service weapon in self-defense.
The discharge struck Sosa-Celis in the lower extremity (leg). Following the shot, all three suspects retreated into a nearby apartment complex and initiated a barricade situation.
Following a brief standoff, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) successfully secured the perimeter and apprehended all three individuals without further injury.
Both the federal agent and Sosa-Celis were transported to a local medical facility for treatment.
Images from the scene showed Sosa-Celis conscious and alert during transport.
All three subjects involved in the assault are currently in the custody of ICE.
Further charges related to the assault on a federal officer and resisting arrest are pending review by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
