US EditionWho Was Esmeralda Ferrer and What Happened to Her? TikTok Star and Family Found Dead Inside Pickup Truck
Authorities link the family's murder to the husband's business dealings, with ballistic and blood evidence confirming death at a Guadalajara mechanic's workshop.
- Esmeralda Ferrer Garibay, a Mexican TikTok influencer, along with her spouse Roberto Carlos Gil Licea and their two children, were found dead inside an abandoned pickup truck in Guadalajara on August 22, 2024.
- The family had settled in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara several months prior due to work commitments, and authorities are examining the murders with indications that they may be connected to Roberto’s commercial ventures rather than Esmeralda’s online activities.
- Investigators processed the crime scene at a local mechanic's workshop linked via CCTV, found multiple pieces of evidence indicating the family was killed there, and stated perpetrators had been watching their exit for over two hours before abducting them.
- Esmeralda, known as Esmeralda FG with around 18,000 TikTok followers, posted lifestyle content including lip-syncs to narcocorrido drug ballads, but investigators do not believe her social media caused the killings.
- Authorities have confirmed the victims' identities, released two men questioned at the workshop due to insufficient evidence, and continue searching for the killers, while forensic results are pending to clarify details.
