A social media influencer named Cesar Gastelum was shot dead in Culiacan, Mexico on Tuesday.
As Gastelum was on a TikTok livestream with a group of friends outside a restaurant, two individuals pulled up on a motorcycle and appeared to shoot him directly, according to footage reviewed by Reuters.
The shooting comes amid a wave of violence in Culiacan, which, for some time, has been at the centre of a conflict between enemy organized crime gangs competing for control.
Speaking on the “regrettable homicide,” Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said, “the material authors must be arrested.” An investigation is ongoing.
