In Mexico, first outrage, then victim blaming over murdered TikTok influencer
- A young beauty content creator from Guadalajara, Mexico, aged 23, was fatally shot while hosting a live broadcast on TikTok at her salon on May 14, 2025.
- Hours before her death, a masked man claiming to deliver a "very expensive" gift visited her salon, prompting Marquez to express fear and suspect a threat against her life.
- Her murder took place amid a surge in violent crime in Jalisco, including the killing of a former congressman nearby, and is being investigated as a suspected femicide within Mexico's broader gender violence crisis.
- Human Rights Watch reported that in 2022 about 4,000 women died violently in Mexico, accounting for 12% of homicides, while prosecutors confirmed a gender-focused investigation following femicide protocols in Marquez's case.
- Marquez’s killing reignited public outrage over persistent impunity and institutional failures to prevent femicides despite legal measures addressing gender-based violence in Mexico.
